PSf Membrane-Impregnated Jute-Copper Nanocomposite as Highly Efficient Dye Removal Material.
Article in ACS omega, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Water pollution, driven by the discharge of dyes from industrial processes, poses a significant environmental and health hazard worldwide. Methylene blue, a common dye, constitutes particular concern due to its persistence and toxicity. Conventional wastewater treatment methods often struggle to effectively remove such contaminants. In this study, we introduce a novel approach utilizing a polysulfone-based composite membrane incorporating pretreated jute fibers and copper nanoparticles for the removal of methylene blue from aqueous solutions. The pretreated jute fibers undergo alkali and hydrogen peroxide treatments to enhance their adsorption capabilities, while copper nanoparticles are incorporated into the membrane to bolster its antimicrobial properties. Through comprehensive characterization techniques, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), we confirm the structural and chemical properties of the composite membranes. Batch adsorption studies reveal the superior performance of the composite membrane compared with individual components. Specifically, at lower methylene blue concentrations (∼20 ppm), the composite membrane demonstrates a remarkable percent removal value of about 97%, while at higher concentrations (∼100 ppm), the percent removal remains substantial at 85%. Additionally, desorption studies elucidate the retention capacity of the adsorbed dye, indicating the feasibility of the composite membrane for practical applications in wastewater treatment. These findings underscore the potential of nanocomposite-fiber membranes as sustainable and cost-effective solutions for mitigating water pollution. By harnessing advancements in nanotechnology and materials science, the presented innovative composite membranes could offer promising avenues for addressing water pollution challenges and promoting environmental sustainability.
