Efficient removal of lead (II) from paint factory wastewater using Noug stalk activated carbon: A sustainable adsorption approach.
Article in Heliyon, 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
Industries are among the largest global consumers of water, with a significant portion being converted into industrial wastewater. Paint factories, in particular, are major contributors to environmental lead pollution, releasing lead (II) through untreated effluents. Exposure to lead (II) poses serious health risks, including carcinogenic effects, neurological disorders, blood-related complications, and damage to vital organs such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs. While extensive research has focused on lead (II) removal from synthetic wastewater, limited studies have addressed the application of these methods to real industrial wastewater. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of Noug stalk activated carbon in removing lead (II) from paint factory effluent under optimized conditions. Laboratory experiments were conducted to assess the performance of Noug stalk activated carbon in treating wastewater from a paint factory. Statistical analysis using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20 was employed, with a paired sample
