Comparative study of the removal of urea by electrocoagulation and electrocoagulation combined with chemical coagulation in aqueous effluents.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Urea is a major issue in human wastewater because it may be easily broken down by the urease enzyme produced by bacteria, leading to ammonia production. Due to its ability to increase soil pH and eutrophicate streams, ammonia-containing effluent emissions pose environmental and health risks. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of various treatment approaches in reducing urea concentrations by comparing the removal rates of conducting electrocoagulation (EC), EC followed by chemical coagulation (EC-CC), and CC followed by electrocoagulation (EC-CC). Numerous electrocoagulation parameters have been investigated, including current density, electrode gap distance, electrolyte type, concentration, and electrolysis duration. The electrode morphology was examined using a scanning electron microscope, while the produced sludge was analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Three kinds of aluminum coagulants-potash alum, aluminum sulfate, and aluminum chloride-were used in the chemical coagulation, while the electrocoagulation was optimized at 30 A/m
