Exploring the thermal decomposition of cigarette butts and its role in chromium adsorption processes.

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
Smoked cigarette butts (SCB) can serve as precursors for producing activated carbon (AC) due to their high carbon content, which originates from cellulose acetate and other components retained during tobacco combustion. This study examines the pyrolysis process and char formation from SCB residue. Kinetic analysis of char formation is conducted using thermogravimetry with heating rates of 5, 10, and 15 °C/min. Mathematical models, including Kissenger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS), Starink (STK), and Ozawa-Flynn-Wall (OFW) are applied to determine thermodynamic parameters, such as activation energy. The resulting char undergoes KOH activation to enhance surface area and pore volume, resulting in BET surface area and micropore volume values of 433 m
