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

Due to the global water crisis, water reclamation has been at the heart of consideration by the scientific communities in recent years. The main objective of this study was the synthesis of a green and sustainable photocatalyst from waste, specifically polyethylene terephthalate plastic bottles, for the efficient removal of methylene blue (MB). The characterization of the novel MWCNT@g-C₃N₄@Ag photocatalyst was carried out using FESEM, EDS-MAP, Raman, XRD, and DLS analysis. The optimization approach, based on Response Surface Methodology (RSM), demonstrated that the pH and initial concentration were the primary factors in improving MB degradation. Also, increasing the photocatalyst dosage and reaction time were appropriate for MB wastewater treatment. Furthermore, the predicted values showed strong agreement with the experimental results, with R
