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
Adsorption of Cd(II) on synthetic Na-X zeolite was studied by batch method and compared with that on clinoptilolite and bentonite. The study examined the effects of contact time (2.5-1440 min), pH (3.0 and 5.0), anion type (Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻), and initial Cd(II) concentration (0.1-950 mg/L) on adsorption capacity. Adsorption data were fitted to Freundlich, Langmuir, Dubinin-Radushkevich, and Sips isotherm models, as well as pseudo-first-order (PFO) and pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic models. The highest adsorption occurred at pH 5.0 in the presence of sulphate ions, while the lowest - at pH 3.0 in the presence of chloride ions. The maximum adsorption capacity followed the trend Na-X (185-268 mg/g) > > bentonite (97-136 mg/g) > clinoptilolite (55-68 mg/g). The PFO model fit well for low Cd(II) concentrations and short contact times, whereas the PSO model described adsorption across all conditions. Binding strength, evaluated using the BCR extraction method, showed that Cd(II) was weakly and reversibly bound in fractions E1 and E2. The study concludes that synthetic Na-X zeolite is a highly effective adsorbent for removing Cd(II) from acidic wastewater, demonstrating significant potential for environmental applications.
