Article in ACS omega, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The work reports the removal of cadmium from water by applying an efficient low-cost lignocellulosic adsorbent, rooibos tea waste. The cadmium-loaded rooibos tea waste was used for the photocatalytic abatement of sulfamethoxazole to cater to the setback of secondary pollution mostly associated with the adsorption technique. The rooibos tea waste adsorbent displayed a high removal efficiency of about 90.63% for 10 mg/L Cd(II) ions at 45 °C, 180 min agitation time, pH 7, and a dosage of 500 mg. The process of Cd(II) adsorption was endothermic and spontaneous. Also, the spent adsorbent was found to be efficient toward the photocatalytic breakdown of 10 mg/L sulfamethoxazole with a degradation efficiency of 69% after 150 min. In addition, the extent of mineralization of the sulfamethoxazole by the spent adsorbent as obtained from the total organic carbon data was found to be 53%. Therefore, based on the results obtained from this work, rooibos tea waste lends itself as a cheap, eco-friendly, easily sourced, and viable adsorbent for the removal of toxic ions like Cd(II). Also, the successful reuse of the spent adsorbent is a promising approach to cater to the major setback of secondary pollution associated with adsorption technology.
