Insights on the Adsorption Properties of Functionalized Polyketone for Diclofenac Sodium Removal.
Article in ACS omega, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Aliphatic polyketones, known for their low cost, simple synthesis, and ease of functionalization, have gained attention as potential wastewater treatment materials. However, their application for pharmaceutical removal remains underexplored. To investigate their feasibility as drug adsorbents, the polyketone was modified with four functional groups: hydroxyl, amine, imidazole, and benzene rings, using a one-step Paal-Knorr reaction. This catalyst- and solvent-free reaction is simple, generating water as the sole byproduct. The modified polyketone adsorbents were evaluated for their ability to remove diclofenac sodium, a pharmaceutical compound frequently detected in water resources. Batch adsorption experiments revealed that polyketone modified with amine groups exhibited the highest adsorption capacity for diclofenac sodium. Further studies demonstrated that the amine-functionalized polyketone showed good selectivity for diclofenac sodium, even in the presence of other pharmaceutical contaminants. Hence, an amine-modified polyketone was selected for the adsorption behavior studies to explore the underlying mechanism. The results indicated that the removal of diclofenac sodium was governed by electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interactions, with relative importance varying as a function of solution pH. Adsorption isotherm analysis demonstrated that the Freundlich model provided a better fit to the experimental data, suggesting multilayer adsorption on the adsorbent surface. The Langmuir model indicated a maximum adsorption capacity of 61 mg/g for diclofenac sodium. In conclusion, this study highlights the potential of amine-modified polyketones as an efficient and selective adsorbent for removing diclofenac sodium from aqueous solutions. This material shows promise for applications in wastewater treatment, particularly in environments with mixed pharmaceutical pollutants.
