Surface Modification of Graphene Oxide for Fast Removal of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Mixtures from River Water.
Article in ACS ES&T water, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) make up a diverse group of industrially derived organic chemicals that are of significant concern due to their detrimental effects on human health and ecosystems. Although other technologies are available for removing PFAS, adsorption remains a viable and effective method. Accordingly, the current study reported a novel type of graphene oxide (GO)-based adsorbent and tested their removal performance toward removing PFAS from water. Among the eight adsorbents tested, GO modified by a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC), GO-CTAC was found to be the best, showing an almost 100% removal for all 11 PFAS tested. The adsorption kinetics were best described by the pseudo-second-order model, indicating rapid adsorption. The isotherm data were well supported by the Toth model, suggesting that PFAS adsorption onto GO-CTAC involved complex interactions. Detailed characterization using scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the proposed adsorption mechanisms, including electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. Interestingly, the performance of GO-CTAC was not influenced by the solution pH, ionic strength, or natural organic matter. Furthermore, the removal efficiency of PFAS at almost 100% in river water demonstrated that GO-CTAC could be a suitable adsorbent for capturing PFAS in real surface water.
