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

Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs), including polychlorinated bisphenyls (PCBs), pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and dyes, are among the most hazardous pollutants found in water bodies and sediments. These substances pose serious threats to the environment and human health due to their high toxicity, long-range mobility, and bioaccumulation potential. Although various methods for degradation of organic pollutants exist, photocatalysis using ultraviolet (UV) and visible light (VIS) has emerged as a promising approach. However, its practical applications remain limited due to challenges such as the use of powdered photocatalysts, which complicates their removal and recycling in industrial settings, and the restricted solar availability of UV light (~4% of the solar spectrum). This review investigates the effectiveness of hybrid electrospun conductive polymer nanofibers on metal oxide photocatalysts such as TiO
