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

This paper critically evaluates the recent advancements in developing adsorbents to remove ibuprofen (IBU) from wastewater. Adsorbent characteristics, their performance in removing IBU from wastewater in batch and column studies, the adsorption kinetics, isotherms, thermodynamics, and mechanisms, adsorbent regeneration, continuous adsorption, and future challenges are included in this paper. Activated carbons, nanomaterials, metal-organic frameworks, biochar, and other adsorbents have been developed to remove IBU from wastewater. Most adsorbents were mesoporous, while some were macro- and microporous, and they contained acidic and basic functional groups. Adsorbents' surface areas range from 2.38 to 2900 m
