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

Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), a highly toxic and carcinogenic contaminant, presents a significant hazard to aquatic ecosystems and human health. Developing environmentally friendly, cost-effective, biodegradable, and easily recyclable adsorbents is critical for efficient Cr(VI) removal. Here, we present an innovative solution using a Mg/Al layered double hydroxide (LDH)-modified sphagnum cellulose gel (MgAl/LDH@SMCG), prepared by pre-treating sphagnum cellulose, crosslinking with polyvinyl alcohol, and doping with LDH. The resulting porous composite gel features abundant -COOH and -OH chelating groups, significantly enhancing its adsorption capacity and structural stability. The material's structure and surface modifications were systematically characterized using SEM, TGA, FT-IR, and XPS. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to assess the influence of adsorbent dosage, initial Cr(VI) concentration, pH, contact time, and temperature on performance. Adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics analyses revealed a primary mechanism of monolayer chemical adsorption, with experimental data closely fitting the Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The modified gel exhibits increased surface roughness and adsorption sites, resulting in markedly improved Cr(VI) removal efficiency. This study not only provides theoretical insights into Cr(VI) adsorption but also highlights the potential of LDH-functionalized cellulose gels for heavy metal wastewater treatment, offering a sustainable pathway for addressing global water contamination challenges.
