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

The recovery of gold by adsorption using activated carbon from sodium cyanide and thiourea leached solutions are reported in this study. The leached solutions were obtained under real operating conditions from the beneficiation plant "Paz Borja", Machala-Ecuador. Calgon Carbon DG-11 6X12 type, widely used in the local metallurgical industry was used as adsorbent material. The operational parameters varied during the adsorption process experiments included the concentration of leaching agent, agitation speed, dose of activated carbon and initial concentration of gold. The control parameters included density, percentage of solid, pH, temperature, and solution potential. The obtained results were adjusted to mass transfer model by diffusion through the interface and the Freundlich model for the equilibrium isotherms. The analysis of the results indicates a higher adsorption rate of the gold di-cyanide complex on activated carbon compared to gold-thiourea complexes.
