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

Modern manufacturing of textiles, pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, plastics, paper, etc. involves the utilization of anionic and cationic dyes that lead to significant water contamination. Recent research has explored the use of nanomaterials toward developing nanoadsorbents for water decontamination caused by industrial pollution. Here, we report on a novel platform for anionic dye remediation, consisting of a polyethylenimine-functionalized lignin nanosphere (PEI-LNS). The designed nanomaterial shows significant ability to adsorb an anionic dye selected as a proof-of-concept-Sulforhodamine B, from aqueous solutions. The PEI lignin nanoadsorbents (PEI-LNS) showed a better ability to adsorb Sulforhodamine B sodium salt (SBSS) when compared to the raw lignin nanosphere adsorbent (LNS), especially in acidic conditions. The nanomaterial was characterized through transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis, elemental analysis, zeta potential, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance. The impacts of ionic strength, contact time, pH, and adsorbent concentration have been evaluated. The ability of PEI-LNS to adsorb SBSS was found to be consistent with Langmuir isotherms and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The PEI-LNS could be recycled three times, reaching a good (85%) adsorbing capacity even in the third cycle. The study demonstrates that PEI-LNS has a strong affinity as a novel adsorbent for anionic dyes and could be employed in environmental cleanups pertaining to such contaminations.
