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

The current work presents a novel and sustainable approach that uses the synthesized Chitosan/Ferrous Oxide Nanocomposite (CFON) to remove the organic azo dye, Acid Red 73 (AR73), a hazardous pollutant commonly found in industrial wastewater, from aqueous solutions and aquaculture effluents wastewater. The CFON exhibited excellent photocatalytic degradation performance under sunlight irradiation. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of various parameters on the removal efficiency of the dye, including pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial concentration, and temperature. The results showed that the nanocomposite effectively achieved a maximum removal percentage of 99.3% under optimal conditions (pH 5 for 180 min at 80 and 100 mg with 75 mg L
