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

The aim of the work was to develop a zero-waste technological solution for hybrid removal of heavy metals from river sediments. The proposed technological process consists of sample preparation, sediment washing (a physicochemical process for sediment purification), and purification of the wastewater produced as a by-product. A suitable solvent for heavy metal washing and the effectiveness of heavy metal removal were determined by testing EDTA and citric acid. The process for removing heavy metals from the samples worked best with citric acid when the 2% sample suspension was washed over a 5-h period. The method was chosen of the adsorption of heavy metals from the exhausting washing solution on natural clay. Analyses were performed of the three main heavy metals, Cu(II), Cr(VI), and Ni(II), in the washing solution. Based on the laboratory experiments, a technological plan was prepared for the purification of 100,000 tons of material per year.
