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

In this study, the experimental adsorption isotherms of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-DA) on peanut skin treated with sulfuric acid were analyzed under different temperatures and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The adsorption mechanism was interpreted based on statistical physics theory using the homogeneous double-layer model with one energy (HDLM1E). The modeling results indicated that the removal of 2,4-DA molecules occurred through a multi-interactive adsorption mechanism at temperatures of 25, 35, and 45 °C (0.76 < n < 0.99). In comparison, at 55 °C, a monomolecular adsorption mechanism was observed (n = 1.00). At 25 °C, the adsorbent demonstrated excellent performance in the 2,4-DA removal, with a maximum capacity of 244.33 mg/g. The increase in temperature reduced the adsorbent's performance in removing 2,4-DA molecules because it increased thermal collisions, which harmed the system. From an energetic point of view, the adsorbent showed less effectiveness in removing the herbicide at high temperatures, indicating an exothermic adsorption process. The surface adsorption energies ranged from 4.72 to 6.06 kJ/mol, indicating the predominance of a physisorption mechanism. Therefore, the adsorption process at low temperatures is essential for industrial applications to ensure efficient wastewater treatment. This result is possible using an adsorbent from peanut skin subjected to acid treatment. Finally, the creation of an adsorbent from acid-treated peanut (Arachis hypogaea) skin presents an excellent alternative, yielding exceptional results in removing the 2,4-DA herbicide.
