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
Azithromycin (AZT), a persistent macrolide antibiotic, is an emerging environmental contaminant due to its high aqueous stability and role in antimicrobial resistance. In this study, natural serpentinite was chemically exfoliated using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylformamide (DMF), and urea (U) to enhance surface reactivity and adsorption performance toward AZT. Textural characterization revealed a marked increase in surface accessibility, with BET area rising from 6.1 m²/g (raw) to 23.7 m²/g (DMSO/SP), 18.8 m²/g (DMF/SP), and 15.3 m²/g (U/SP), while pore diameters expanded from 11.1 nm to ~ 16 nm, exposing more reactive hydroxyl groups. Batch adsorption experiments showed pH-dependent uptake, with maximum removal at pH 9. Adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-first-order model (R² > 0.90), and intra-particle diffusion confirmed a multi-stage adsorption pathway. Statistical physics modeling revealed saturation capacities (Q
