1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Activated-hydrochar (AHC) derived from sugarcane bagasse was synthesized by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) using phosphoric acid and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as activators. The properties of AHC were systematically characterized by elemental analysis, BET, SEM, FTIR, XPS and zeta potential, and applied to evaluate the adsorption ability of methylene blue (MB) by batch adsorption tests. The MB adsorption isotherm and kinetics of AHC were well described by the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Characteristic analysis suggested electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions were the main contributors to MB adsorption. Analysis of mass transfer mechanisms demonstrated the adsorption process towards MB by AHC involved intra-particle diffusion to some extent. Thermodynamic studies indicated MB adsorption was an endothermic, spontaneous process associated with a disorder increase at the solid-liquid interface. The maximum adsorption capacity of AHC for MB was 357.14 mg g
