Adsorption and Degradation of Organics in Wastewater on Municipal Sludge.
Article in ACS omega, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Adsorption and degradation of organic compounds on sludge were investigated by comparing activated and inactivated sludge at various dosages, pH values, and temperatures. The organic compounds in wastewater were identified and evaluated through fluorescence spectra. The results show that optimum adsorption occurred as the activated and inactivated sludge concentration was 4000 mg/L at a pH of 7.99 and a temperature of 30 °C. The fluorescence scanning spectrum indicated that activated sludge could remove protein-like organic matter, fulvic acid-like organic matter, and humic acid-like organic matter by 22.1, 9.4, and 41.2%, respectively, via adsorption only or by 25.9, 9.8, and 74.3%, respectively, via adsorption and degradation. Under optimum conditions, by using the good adsorption performance of sludge combined with other sewage treatment technologies, the treatment of high-content organic wastewater can be achieved.
