Graphene oxide/polydimethylsiloxane composite sponge for removing Pb(ii) from water.
Article in RSC advances, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
An efficient adsorbent to remove Pb(ii) from water was prepared by treating polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) sponge with polyvinyl alcohol and then coating the sponge with graphene oxide (GO). The GO-PDMS sponge was highly hydrophilic, easily handled during and after use, and easily recycled. The kinetics and isotherms of Pb(ii) sorption onto the GO-PDMS sponge were investigated by performing batch sorption tests. The kinetics of Pb(ii) sorption onto the GO-PDMS sponge indicated that sorption equilibrium occurred rapidly (within 60 min) and that the sorption data could be described using a pseudo-second-order model. Maximum Pb(ii) sorption onto the GO-PDMS sponge occurred at pH > 5. Increasing GO loading on the PDMS sponge increased the amount of Pb(ii) that could be sorbed. The isotherm for Pb(ii) sorption onto the GO-PDMS sponge was non-linear and was well described by the Langmuir isotherm model, indicating that Pb(ii) sorption onto the GO-PDMS sponge was homogeneous and occurred through sorption of a monolayer of Pb(ii). The GO-PDMS sponge, used as a filter, removed Pb(ii) efficiently from water. The Pb(ii) removal efficiencies were more than 50% and the maximum was 85%.
