Calcium modified mesoporous silica from marble for the removal of cadmium, lead, chromium, iron, and manganese from Siwa Oasis groundwater.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
This study assessed the health risks of heavy metal contamination in groundwater in Siwa Oasis, Egypt's northwestern desert, and their potential decontamination using a marble-based nanoporous Ca-MCM-41 structure as an adsorbent. Fe, Cd, Cr, Pb, and Mn contents exceeded World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines with potential non-carcinogenic risks and carcinogenic risks based on the hazard index (HI) and Monte Carlo simulations. Ca-MCM-41 showed significant performances in the removal of most of these toxic ions with batch saturation uptake capacities of 239 mg/g Cd(II), 252 mg/g Fe(II), 308 mg/g Pb(II), 132 mg/g Cr(VI), and 154.7 mg/g Mn(II). The batch adsorption behavior display monolayer, homogenous, multi-ionic, nonparallel properties. The adsorption energies (< 8 kJ/mol) highlight the impact of the physical mechanisms and potential regeneration value. The column study using the structure as a fixed bed (3 cm thickness) reflected successful retention for 148.9 mg (Cd (II)), 161.5 mg (Fe (II)), 179.6 mg (Pb (II)), 103.2 mg (Cr (VI)), and 123.7 mg (Mn (II)). The realistic treatment of groundwater in Siwa Oasis demonstrates removal percentages of 84.2% (Cd (II)), 48.8% (Fe (II)), 84.8% (Pb (II)), 52.6% (Cr (VI)), and 52.6% (Mn (II)), considering the variation in the starting concentration and the competitive effect of other pollutants.
