Assessment of Cu(II) Removal from Aqueous Solutions by Modified Pomelo Peels: Experiments and Modelling.

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 study, low-cost pomelo peel wastes were used as a bio-sorbent to remove copper ions (e.g., Cu(II)) from aqueous solutions. Prior to testing its Cu(II) removal capability, the structural, physical and chemical characteristics of the sorbent were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis. The impacts of the initial pH, temperature, contact time and Cu(II) feed concentration on the Cu(II) biosorption using modified pomelo peels were then assessed. Thermodynamic parameters associated to the biosorption clearly demonstrate that this biosorption is thermodynamically feasible, endothermic, spontaneous and entropy driven. Furthermore, adsorption kinetic data were found to fit very well with the pseudo-second order kinetics equation, highlighting that this process is driven by a chemical adsorption. Finally, an artificial neural network with a 4:9:1 structure was then established for describing the Cu(II) adsorption using modified pomelo peels with R
