Cobalt titanate nanocatalyst for enhanced photodegradation of atrazine: kinetics, degradation efficiency, and mechanistic analysis.
Article in BMC chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In this study, cobalt titanate nanoparticles (CoTiO₃ NPs) were synthesized and applied as a photocatalyst to degrade atrazine. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis showed irregularly shaped particles prone to agglomeration, while X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the formation of a rhombohedral CoTiO₃ phase with a crystallite size of 3.76 nm. Raman spectroscopic analysis showed vibrations typical for Ti-O and Co-O bonds and confirmed a well-defined cobalt titanate structure. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the nanoparticles remained stable up to 800 °C. The photocatalytic activity of CoTiO₃ NPs was tested under sunlight irradiation and the results obtained demonstrated excellent efficiency compared to the photolysis reaction. The efficiency was influenced by concentration (20-50 ppm), catalyst dosage (0.5-2.0 mg/L), pH (4.21-10.22), and irradiation time (0-120 min). The synthesized nanoparticles exhibited a surface area of 32.5 m
