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

This study investigates the simultaneous recovery of noble metal ions using commercially available activated carbon (AC). Adsorption was carried out in a closed batch reactor enhanced by microwave radiation, creating high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. The effects of AC mass, process time, temperature, pH, and ionic strength of the solution were examined. High-temperature, high-pressure, and microwave radiation proved to be effective means of chemical activation, resulting in nearly 100% adsorption efficiency. It is proposed that microwave radiation significantly increases the local temperature at the surface of activated carbon, altering the adsorption mechanism. This enhancement led to higher recovery yields compared to traditional batch reactors without microwave support. The results demonstrate the significant potential of this method for efficient metal recovery.
