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

Phosphorus (P) fertilizer is an essential component of our food system with the majority of all mined P rock processed to make mineral fertilizers. Globally however P rock stocks are declining-both in quality and quantity-with poor P management creating a linear economic system where P is mined, globally redistributed into products and eventually discharged into the environment leading to eutrophication. To enable establishment of a circular P economy, whereby P can be recovered from waste for its industrial reuse, requires the development of effective P recovery technologies. Adsorption via anion exchange is a promising technology for P recovery from waste streams; however, in many cases, the regeneration of the sorbent used (to allow for its subsequent reuse) has not been extensively investigated. We now describe a gel-type anion exchange polymer composed of vinyl benzyl chloride, hydroxypropyl methacrylate, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate synthesized via suspension polymerization. The obtained material was modified to introduce a quaternary ammonium functionality, characterized, and tested for phosphate capture, in the presence of competing anions and from wastewater samples. Fixed-bed experiments were conducted using monobasic phosphate as adsorbate to test polymer performance, and its stability upon repeated adsorption/desorption cycles was investigated by solid-state NMR, revealing that no degradation or loss of P binding performance across 50 regeneration cycles. Excellent polymer performance in the recovery of P from wastewater was also demonstrated.
