Heterogeneous Photocatalysis of Amoxicillin under Natural Conditions and High-Intensity Light: Fate, Transformation, and Mineralogical Impacts.
Article in Environments, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The β-Lactam antibiotic amoxicillin is among the most widely used antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine. Consequently, amoxicillin is abundant in natural waters and can undergo diverse abiotic reactions to form degradation compounds under environmental conditions. Yet, little is known about these decay pathways and mineralogical impacts on environmental amoxicillin degradation. The current study focuses on understanding the mineralogical influences of amoxicillin degradation under ecological conditions. We studied the role of anatase and kaolinite on amoxicillin degradation under irradiated and non-irradiated conditions. Anatase increases amoxicillin degradation by 4.5-fold in the presence of light compared to just being exposed to sunlight. Interestingly, anatase also showed a higher degradation rate under dark than light controls. Conversely, kaolinite diminishes the amoxicillin degradation under irradiation. The formation of degradation compounds was mineralogy-controlled, while no mineralization was observed. Further, we irradiated amoxicillin with a high-intensity light to evaluate its removal from wastewater. The formation of varying amoxicillin degradation products with high-intensity light will limit its removal from wastewater. Our study emphasizes that the mineralogical impact on amoxicillin degradation is diverse, and the role of anatase is significant. Consequently, the increased addition of manufactured titanium nanoparticles to the environment can further enhance these effects.
