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

A comprehensive investigation of the input parameters in a plasma-liquid interaction (PLI) for the removal of methylene blue (MB) in artificial wastewater was conducted using a cold atmospheric pressure Ar plasma jet (jet temperature ≤ 40 °C). The Ar plasma jet was generated by a gliding arc configuration and driven with a 50 Hz AC high voltage. The effects of key parameters on MB removal efficiency were systematically examined, including stirring solution, distance from the plasma jet source to the liquid surface, interaction time, initial MB concentration, and Ar flow rate. These results indicate that increasing the Ar flow rate, treatment time, and stirring solution improved the MB removal efficiency. In contrast, the efficiency decreased with distance and the initial MB solution. To evaluate the magnitude of these factors, a quadratic equation was developed to predict MB removal efficiency, demonstrating good agreement with the experimental data. Consequently, the relative importance of the factors based on first-order coefficients was determined as follows: treatment time > Ar flow rate > initial MB concentration > distance > stirring solution. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing the plasma configuration and operating conditions for efficient MB removal
