Phosphorylated Bacterial Cellulose-Poly(vinyl alcohol) Membrane for Organic Pollutant Removal.
Article in ACS applied materials & interfaces, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 bacterial cellulose (BC)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) composite membrane was phosphorylated using a diammonium phosphate (DAP) solution to increase its capability to remove organic pollutants from wastewater. The bacterial cellulose was extracted from nata de coco waste, and the formation of a composite membrane was achieved by casting aqueous mixtures that, in addition to the BC, contain 3% w/w PVA relative to the BC. The membranes thus made were subsequently phosphorylated to increase the surface charge density and thereby the adsorption capacity of the membrane. The concentration of DAP was varied from 0.05 to 0.3 M to vary the charge density of the membrane. Using methylene blue (MB) as a model pollutant, it is shown that phosphorylation increases the MB adsorption capacity from 2.9 to 20.3 mg/g and leads to multilayer adsorption behaviors. Recyclability experiments confirm the high reusability of the membranes over 5 cycles and demonstrate a high removal efficiency of over 90%.
