Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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 revealed the synthesis of a novel metal-organic framework (MOF) through the reaction between red mud as an industrial waste material, and trimesic acid (TCA) for the adsorption of methyl orange (MO) through Response Surface Methodology (RSM) from aqueous solutions. The synthesis process utilized red mud as a sustainable source of metal ions and TCA as the organic linker to obtain Red Mud-Trimesic Acid MOF (RM/TCA-MOF) under hydrothermal conditions. The synthesized MOF was characterized using various techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). The as-synthesized MOF was applied to remove methyl orange (MO) as an anionic dye. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to optimize adsorption parameters, including pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, temperature, and initial dye concentration. Further, the optimum conditions for maximum adsorption efficiency were evaluated at pH = 2.33, 0.07 g RM/TCA dose, 6 ppm of MO concentration, 61 min, and 26 °C using the Quadratic model. Based on the results, RM/TCA-MOF can be adsorbed MO by active functional groups derived from the red mud and TCA. The study of adsorption isotherms and kinetics studies shows the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics, respectively. This study considers the potential industrial waste and green chemistry principles to develop effective compounds for environmental subjects.
