Adsorption of Mercury in Aqueous Solutions by Functionalized Cellulose Extracted from Soybean Hulls.

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
The presence of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in drinking water and the food chain is a well-known hazard to human health. Among PTEs, mercury is particularly dangerous for humans and other living organisms due to its wider effects on internal organs. Hg contamination is a critical issue for water bodies used for aquaculture, making its elimination mandatory. Among the techniques proposed for Hg removal, adsorption is advantageous because of its versatility, absence of secondary pollution, and relatively low cost, especially when adsorbents can be obtained from waste materials. In this article, adsorbent materials are synthesized by introducing thiols and primary amino groups into cellulose fibers isolated from soybean hulls. After characterization, the ability of the materials to remove mercury from both ultrapure and aquaculture water solutions is tested. The results confirm the affinity of Hg for thiol groups, leading to the adsorption of 44 mg(Hg)/g in a wide pH range. The amino-modified material adsorbs ≈50% Hg less than the thiol-functionalized one. Test in real water shows that organic matter and salts influence the Hg adsorption process, without affecting the overall efficiency. Finally, in real water, a final concentration below the Hg legal limit for human consumption (1 μg L
