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

Heavy metal ion pollution in aquatic environments is a critical global issue, damaging ecosystems and threatening human health via bioaccumulation in the food chain. Despite promising progress with biosorbents, the development of environmentally friendly and stable heavy metal adsorbents requires further exploration. In this study, we present an algae-loaded alginate hydrogel as a composite adsorbent for heavy metals. The incorporation of algae enhanced the hydrogel's adsorption capacity by 38.0%, 20.6%, and 27.1% for Cu
