Role of immobilised Chlorophyta algae in form of calcium alginate beads for the removal of phenol: isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamic study.

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
In this work, sodium alginate-immobilised Chlorophyta algae were evaluated for phenol uptake. The algae/alginate bead (AAB) characteristics were analysed by means of BET-BJH, FTIR, and SEM-EDX methods, while the adsorption performance of AABs with respect to phenol removal was investigated using batch studies. The parameters found to affect the biosorption capacity of AABs included pH, contact time, initial phenol concentration, adsorbent dosage, stirring rate, particle size, and temperature, with the optimal operating variables identified as a pH of 6, an initial phenol concentration of 50 mg/L, AAB dosage of 5 g/L, and a 200 rpm stirring rate. The adsorption process in such cases reached equilibrium within 120 min, demonstrating a maximum phenol elimination capacity of 9.56 mg/g at 30 °C. The isotherm and kinetic models used to determine this were evaluated using the Chi-square test (X
