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

Methylene blue dye contamination poses serious environmental and health risks, necessitating efficient removal methods. Conventional Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles synthesized chemically face issues like toxicity, instability, and agglomeration, reducing their effectiveness. This study explores the green synthesis, characterization, and application of teff straw-assisted ZnO nanoparticles, using neem leaf extract as a capping agent, for MBD removal from textile wastewater. Characterization via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed functionalization, with an average crystalline size of 27.196 nm. Adsorption experiments analyzed the impact of pH, adsorbent dose, contact time, and initial dye concentration, while Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with a Central Composite Design (CCD) optimized conditions, achieving 99.77% removal efficiency at pH 6.9, 68.5 mg/L dye concentration, 0.265 g adsorbent dose, and 77.87 min contact time, fitting the Freundlich isotherm model (R² = 0.99). Real textile wastewater treatment showed 92.5% removal efficiency, proving teff straw-assisted ZnO nanoparticles as a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative for wastewater treatment.
