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
Elemental sulfur is one of the major byproducts of the acidic Albion leaching process for chalcopyrite. It is a challenging component in the leach solution as it impedes gold recovery from the residue. Lanxess Lewatit® AF 5 (AF 5) is a microporous carbon-based resin, which is being investigated for the removal of elemental sulfur during this leaching process. In the current research, a series of leaching experiments were performed as a function of temperature, agitation speed and concentrate to AF 5 ratio. Using these results, the adsorption isotherms, the kinetics and the thermodynamics of sulfur removal were studied. One hundred percent of the elemental sulfur could be adsorbed by the AF 5 resin from the acidic Albion leaching process for chalcopyrite. Adsorption isotherms at various temperatures were determined using the Langmuir and Freundlich models. The maximum sorption capacity of AF 5 at 95 °C was 488 mg/g. The kinetic data were fitted to pseudo-first order (PFO) and pseudo-second order (PSO) models and it was shown that the PFO model was best suited to describe the results. The rapid kinetics of sulfur adsorption were attributed to the open pore structure of the AF 5. The Gibbs free energy, enthalpy and entropy of sulfur adsorption by AF 5 were determined as follows: ΔG
