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 study proposes a circulating pelletized fluidized bed (CPFB) with micro-sand loading for treating high-algae surface water. Key operational parameters (coagulant dosage, flow rate) were optimized to simultaneously remove algae, turbidity, and disinfection byproduct precursors. Results revealed that 20 mg/L polyaluminum chloride (PACl) and 0.8 mg/L PAM achieved optimal removal of algae (density removal > 80%) and organic matter. The fluidized bed exhibited robust performance across algal species, with the highest dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN) precursor removal of 66.20%, demonstrating superior efficiency for trihalomethane precursors over haloacetic acids. These findings provide critical operational guidance for high-algae water treatment using fluidized beds.
