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

The contribution of dissolved phosphorus (P) from tile drain systems in agricultural lands is significant, leading to water impairment and promoting algae bloom development in water bodies. Hence, there is an urgent need for sustainable and efficient technology, such as absorbent material, that can effectively remove P at low concentrations in these systems. This study aimed to evaluate fiber extraction from corn leaves and its potential for reducing dissolved P. Corn fibers were extracted from corn leaves using alkali treatment by varying the concentration of sodium hydroxide (5-15%w/w), extraction temperature (85-95°C), and time (60-120 min Results of the alkali extraction showed that the highest fiber recovery of 45.18 ± 0.39% g g
