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

Enzyme-catalyzed biodegradation is an emerging green strategy for environmental remediation, although challenged by high cost and poor robustness. Herein, natural biopolymer (cellulose)-derived hydrogels concurrently doped with β-cyclodextrin and montmorillonite nanosheets that are synthesized in one-step demonstrate exceptional pollutant affinity and mechanical strength. Laccase is then stably and effectively assembled onto the hydrogels by a facile strategy based on charge-assisted H-bonding, which can be extended to other enzymes. The advanced laccase-assembled hydrogels display excellent stability and increased degradation activity achieved by strong substrate capture and rapid electron transfer. The laccase-assembled hydrogels exhibit significantly improved removal (62-fold) and degradation (52-fold) performance compared to free laccase for diverse organic pollutants (e.g., polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) in real wastewater. This enhanced performance is maintained despite the presence of heavy metals, other organic chemicals or dissolved organic matter. This work provides a practical strategy for designing an advanced and sustainable biodegradation tool for environmental remediation.
