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

In the field of wastewater treatment, the regulation of free radical and non-radical routes has been one of the major challenges. This study investigates the regulation of radical and non-radical oxidation pathways in the peroxymonosulfate (PMS) oxidation system by controlling the calcination temperature of carbon materials and constructing bimetallic single-atom catalysts (NC-FeMn(TA)). Density functional theory calculations and experimental tests indicate that increasing the pyridinic nitrogen content and incorporating single metal atoms in nitrogen-doped carbon materials result in a predominantly non-radical oxidation process. In contrast, enhancing the content of graphitic and pyrrolic nitrogen species and introducing bimetallic catalytic centers promote a radical oxidation pathway. The NC-FeMn(TA)/PMS system demonstrates high oxidation performance over a broad pH range, exhibiting significant interference resistance and stability, with 100% degradation of target pollutants after 22 cycles and complete removal of emerging pollutants (including pharmaceuticals and personal care products, endocrine disrupting chemicals, dyes and chemical materials) within 5 min. This system's remarkable performance suggests broad application potential in water pollution control field.
