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
In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) porous sponge capable of oil-water separation was fabricated using recycled expanded polystyrene (EPS) through 3D electrospinning, by adding phosphoric acid to the electrospinning solution. The fabrication process was a rapid and efficient single-step process to produce the 3D sponge. In addition, the additive's concentration was also optimized for oil absorption. The fabricated EPS sponge was highly effective in oil-water separation due to its excellent hydrophobic and oleophilic properties. This demonstrates its potential as a sustainable and efficient absorbent to address ongoing oil pollution issues. Moreover, the performance of the recycled EPS sponge was found to be comparable to that of sponges made from virgin polystyrene, suggesting the feasibility of using recycled materials for the production of high-value products. This research presents an efficient method for fabricating 3D sponges from recycled materials, contributing to environmental protection and resource recycling.
