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

Background: Cadmium pollution from industrial effluent can cause major health concerns, so it must be removed from wastewater prior to disposal. The objective of this study was to remove cadmium (Cd Methods: Batch adsorption studies were carried out to evaluate the individual impacts of adsorbent-metal contact time, cadmium concentration, and temperature on the cadmium removal efficiency and biosorption capacity. The Box-Benhken experimental design of response surface methodology was also used to investigate the relationship between different factors (pH, Cd Results: The highest removal efficiency of 97.27% was achieved by combining different optimal parameters, including pH 5.78, initial Cd
