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 growing concern over micropollutants in aquatic ecosystems motivates the development of electrochemical membrane reactors (EMRs) as a sustainable water treatment solution. Nevertheless, the intricate interplay among adsorption/desorption, electrochemical reactions, and byproduct formation within EMR complicates the understanding of their mechanisms. Herein, the degradation of micropollutants using an EMR equipped with carbon nanotube membrane are investigated, employing isotope-labeled steroid hormone micropollutant. The integration of high-performance liquid chromatography with a flow scintillator analyzer and liquid scintillation counting techniques allows to differentiate hormone removal by concurrent adsorption and degradation. Pre-adsorption of hormone is found not to limit its subsequent degradation, attributed to the rapid adsorption kinetics and effective mass transfer of EMR. This analytical approach facilitates determining the limiting factors affecting the hormone degradation under variable conditions. Increasing the voltage from 0.6 to 1.2 V causes the degradation dynamics to transition from being controlled by electron transfer rates to an adsorption-rate-limited regime. These findings unravels some underlying mechanisms of EMR, providing valuable insights for designing electrochemical strategies for micropollutant control.
