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

Nanomaterial assisted removal of pollutants from water has got great attention. This study aimed to remove nitrate from groundwater using zeolite and zeolite-ZnO nanocomposite as synergetic effect. Zeolite-ZnO nanocomposite was prepared using the co-precipitation method. The Physico-chemical characteristics of the nanomaterials were determined using XRD, SEM, and FTIR. The results revealed that; Zeolite-ZnO nanocomposites with 13.12 nm particle size have successfully been loaded into the zeolite. In addition, its chemical composition was determined using AAS. The removal efficiency of nitrate from groundwater was studied using a batch experiment. The removal of nitrate was investigated as a function of adsorbent dose, pH, initial concentration of nitrate, contact time, and agitation speed. Moreover, the adsorption isotherm and kinetics were also determined. The results showed that the removal of nitrate was 92% at an optimum dose of 0.5 g, pH 5, initial nitrate concentration of 50 mg/L, the contact time of 1 h, and agitation speed of 160 rpm. The removal nitrate has been fitted well by the Langmuir isotherm model with correlation coefficients of R
