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

In this work, a series of clinoptilolite composites decorated with carbon quantum dots (CQDs/clinoptilolite) with hierarchical pore structures was demonstrated that exhibits good photocatalytic performance for the removal of xylene. The technique for the attachment of carbon quantum dots to clinoptilolite was prepared by a hydrothermal method in this study. The structural features were confirmed by SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, BET, XPS, and solid diffuse reflection measurements, while the degradation mechanism was investigated by adding a trapping agent into the nanocomposites. The introduction of CQDs promoted the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes as well as the generation of reactive radicals, which effectively improved the light utilization and even increased the degradation rate of xylene by 73% at the optimal state. The photocatalytic test was conducted under a different dwell time, catalyst dosage, initial concentration, and illumination intensity. The results showed that the degradation rate of xylene by the CQDs/clinoptilolite catalyst reached 97.4% under the optimal reaction conditions (the catalyst was Catalyst No. 2, the residence time was 90 s, the initial concentration was 2.5 g/m
