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 huge volume of industrial wastewater laden with toxic heavy metals, including cadmium, lead, nickel and copper, is discharged into the environment without treatment. Pressmud, a byproduct of sugar industry, could serve as an efficient, low-cost and environment friendly amendment for the biosorptive removal of lead (Pb) from wastewater. This study aimed to assess the biosorption efficiency of pressmud in removing Pb from water. Primarily, it evaluated the biosorption potential of pressmud for Pb, and compared it with other amendments such as, citrus waste, rice straw, biochar and activated carbon. Subsequently, the biosorption of Pb by the pressmud was measured at different temperatures (20-45 °C), pH (5-10) and biosorbent doses (2-10 g L
