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

Municipal sludge was pyrolyzed to produce sludge-derived biochar (SBC), which was subsequently modified with lanthanum nitrate. Through orthogonal experiments, the optimal preparation conditions for La-SBC-700 were determined. The morphological and textural properties of the biochar material, such as specific surface area, were characterized and batch adsorption experiments simulating fluoride-containing wastewater were conducted to investigate the effects of pH, fluoride concentration, biochar dosage, and coexisting ions on the fluoride removal performance of La-SBC-700. The application potential of the biochar material in real geothermal water was also assessed. The results indicated that La-SBC-700 prepared under optimal conditions exhibited an adsorption capacity approximately 10 times higher than that of the pristine biochar (SBC). The adsorption process was stable within the pH range of 5.0 to 8.0 and conformed to the Quasi-secondary-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models, with a maximum theoretical adsorption capacity of 40.338 mg/g. The adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. NO3- and Cl
