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

Wastewater generated during toluene diisocyanate (TDI) production contains significant levels of nitrobenzenes (NBs), necessitating preliminary treatment to mitigate biotoxicity and improve biodegradability. Micro-electrolysis has been demonstrated to be an effective method for the degradation of NBs. Combined with Fenton oxidation and biochemical treatment, it has the potential to achieve stable compliance with wastewater standards during TDI production. This study evaluates micro-electrolysis and its synergistic effects with other treatment methods, based on both experimental and engineering practices. Experimental results revealed that micro-electrolysis degraded 48.57% of NBs at a pH of 3 and 0.1% of cast iron powder. Coupling micro-electrolysis with Fenton oxidation boosted degradation to 82.86%. The B/C ratio (B/C, defined as biological oxygen demand/chemical oxygen demand) improved from 0.047 to 0.252. In actual practice, micro-electrolysis reduced the effluent COD
