A robust assessment and treatment of selected organochlorine pesticides and heavy metals in industrial wastewater using nanoparticles: a case study in Nigeria.
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 1 paper.
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
The discharge of non/ill-treated industrial effluent containing organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and potentially toxic metal ions into the aquatic ecosystem has endangered both aquatic life and man. Thus, this study presents the evaluation of potentially toxic metal ions in thirteen industrial effluents sampled from five different states in Nigeria, as well as the level of OCPs content of a pesticide industry sited in Kanu State, Nigeria. The range of concentration estimated for the analyte was noticed to be higher than the recommended concentration limits for both OCPs and potentially toxic metal ions. Thus, biozinc oxide nanoparticles (BioZnONPs), zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs), and biozinc oxide-carboxymethyl cellulose nanocomposite (BioZnONPs-CMC) were fabricated and characterized using non-destructive spectroscopic techniques and a specific surface area analyzer for remediation of industrial effluents. The incorporation of nanoparticles and nanocomposites resulted in a substantial reduction in key water quality parameters, including total dissolved solids (TDS), sulfate (SO₄²⁻), electrical conductivity (EC), total phosphorus, chemical oxygen demand (COD), chloride (Cl⁻), and pH, highlighting their potential for effective water purification applications. The OCPs mean adsorption capacities of BioZnONPs, ZnONPs, and BioZnONPs-CMC were determined as 10.2 ± 10.182 mg g
