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

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) utilizing persulfate (PS) offer great potential for wastewater treatment. Yet, the dependency on energy and chemical-intensive activation techniques, such as ultraviolet radiation and transition metal ions, constrains their widespread adoption. Recognizing this limitation, researchers are turning towards the piezoelectric effect-a novel, energy-efficient method for PS activation that capitalizes on the innate piezoelectric characteristics of materials. Intriguingly, this method taps into weak renewable mechanical forces omnipresent in nature, ranging from wind, tides, water flow, sound, and atmospheric forces. In this perspective, we delve into the burgeoning realm of piezoelectric/PS-AOPs, elucidating its fundamental principles, the refinement of piezoelectric materials, potential mechanical force sources, and pertinent application contexts. This emerging technology harbors significant potential as a pivotal element in wastewater pretreatment and may spearhead innovations in future water pollution control engineering.
