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

Coal gasification slag (CGS) is a hazardous industrial byproduct generated during coal gasification process. Its large-scale accumulation leads to environmental pollution and wasting of land resources. Addressing these challenges, the development of high-value utilization strategies for CGS has become a critical priority in sustainable resource management. CGS has unique pore structure and high reactivity of alumina-silica components, enabling it to be transformed into porous materials, which offers the possibility for high-value utilization. This review systematically consolidates recent progress in designing and functionalizing CGS-based porous materials. First, we elucidate the microstructural and physicochemical properties of CGS, focusing on pore hierarchy, elemental distribution, and phase evolution. Next, we critically analyze mainstream synthesis methodologies, spanning acid/alkali etching, physical activation, and hybrid approaches for hierarchical structuring. Furthermore, we point out emerging applications across environmental and energy sectors, such as multifunctional adsorption (heavy metals, organics, CO
