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
Microcystin-LR (MC-LR), the most common algal toxin in freshwater, poses an escalating threat to safe drinking water. This study aims to develop an engineered biofiltration system for water treatment, employing a composite of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)-biochar (PDDA-BC) as a filtration medium. The objective is to capture MC-LR selectively and quickly from water, enabling subsequent biodegradation of toxin by bacteria embedded on the composite. The results showed that PDDA-BC exhibited a high selectivity in adsorbing MC-LR, even in the presence of competing natural organic matter and anions. The adsorption kinetics of MC-LR was faster, and capacity was greater compared to traditional adsorbents, achieving a capture rate of 98% for MC-LR (200 μg/L) within minutes to tens of minutes. Notably, the efficient adsorption of MC-LR was also observed in natural lake waters, underscoring the substantial potential of PDDA-BC for immobilizing MC-LR during biofiltration. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the synergetic effects of electrostatic interaction and π-π stacking predominantly contribute to the adsorption selectivity of MC-LR. Furthermore, experimental results validated that the combination of PDDA-BC with MC-degrading bacteria offered a promising and effective approach to achieve a sustainable removal of MC-LR through an "adsorption-biodegradation" process.
