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 recent years, nanomaterials and composites have become increasingly significant as adsorbents in the removal of dyes and phenolic contaminants from wastewater. This study presents the development and application of a keratin-based graphene oxide nanocomposite, distinguished by its enhanced biocompatibility, cost-effectiveness, and strong affinity for organic compounds, making it highly effective in reducing dyes within tannery effluent. The nanocomposite was prepared via solution casting method, with dispersibility, chemical bonding, and morphology analyzed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, and SEM, respectively. Furthermore, investigations of the influence of several factors, such as contact time, pH, and adsorbent dosage on the optimization of the process were conducted. An observation indicated a reduction of approximately 98.8 % in dye content within 20 min, achieved through the use of an adsorbent dosage of 1.5 g/L, with the solution pH maintained at 5. Subsequently, adsorption kinetics and isotherm modelling were analyzed. The results revealed that the adsorption process follows the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Freundlich isotherm models. Hence, the adsorption could be explained as chemisorption with a multilayer adsorption mechanism. Notably, a substantial reduction in parameters such as Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) was also achieved up to 62 % and 79 %, respectively. Therefore, the developed adsorbent could be suggested as a viable candidate for eliminating dyes from the wastewater, especially from the tannery effluent.
