Adsorption of Organic Pollutants from Wastewater Using Chitosan-Based Adsorbents.
Review in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 7 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
Among the naturally occurring polysaccharides, chitosan is the second-most abundant polysaccharide. It is obtained from chitin through a process known as deacetylation. It is biodegradable, biocompatible, and non-toxic, which made it suitable for various environmental applications. In the present review, the structure, properties, and characteristics of chitosan were discussed. In addition, the modified forms of chitosan (including cross-linked, nanoparticles, functionalized, and grafted forms of chitosan) were enumerated. The applications of these modified forms of chitosan in the adsorption of organic pollutants (such as antibiotics, dyes, pesticides, microplastics, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, parabens, and polychlorobiphenyls) are comprehensively reviewed. Furthermore, the mechanism of adsorption, adsorption isotherm (Langmuir and Freundlich), and the kinetic models are highlighted. Finally, the economic viability assessment and environmental impact of processing tons of shrimp shells into chitosan annually were discussed.
