Optimization of Removal of Phosphate from Water by Adsorption Using Biopolymer Chitosan Beads.

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 need for clean water is the most basic human right. Water scarcity will be one important environmental problem of all countries in the future. Phosphate is a harmful matter for public health and the environment. In this study, the removal of phosphate from water by chitosan, which is an environmentally friendly material, was investigated. Chitosan adsorbent spheres were prepared for phosphate separation from water by adsorption, which is a feasible method. The effects of phosphate concentration, adsorbent dosage, and operation time on the removal were investigated. The removal increased with acid concentration and adsorbent amount. The maximum adsorption capacity of chitosan beads is 87.26 mg/g. Adsorption behavior of the chitosan beads were examined by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms and pseudo-first and second-order kinetic models. The adsorption process was optimized by the response surface method (RSM). Trial version of Design Expert® 12.0 was used in the study. It has been understood as a result of the RSM statistical analysis that higher phosphate removal values would be obtained by increasing the amount of adsorbent. ANOVA analysis showed that adsorbent dosage had the biggest effect on removal of phosphate using chitosan beads prepared for adsorption.
