Green synthesis of low-cost graphene oxide-nano zerovalent iron composite from solid waste for photocatalytic removal of antibiotics.
Article in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
This study develops a graphene oxide-nano zerovalent iron (GO-nZVI) composite for the efficient removal of tetracycline and ciprofloxacin from water. The composite was synthesized using sugarcane bagasse as the matrix for graphene oxide (GO) and Sal leaf extract to reduce iron into nano zerovalent iron (nZVI). Microscopic analysis confirmed multiple GO layers with nZVI particles on their surface, while XRD and Raman spectroscopy verified the crystalline nature of the composite. Photocatalytic degradation achieved removal efficiencies of 91% for tetracycline and 92% for ciprofloxacin. The microbial assays showed that the degraded antibiotics were non-toxic, ensuring their safe disposal. Treatment costs were estimated at 53 USD for tetracycline and 68 USD for ciprofloxacin per 10,000 L of contaminated water. This approach provides a sustainable solution by employing agricultural waste in environmental remediation, supporting a circular economy model for tackling antibiotic contamination in water.
