Article in Scientific reports, 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
Humic acid (HA), prevalent in natural water bodies, has the potential to form carcinogenic disinfection byproducts (DBPs), highlighting the necessity for efficient removal approaches. This study aimed to develop a stable and high-performance catalyst to enhance HA removal efficiency. An optimal cerium-manganese-modified material (CM-AA) was synthesized via impregnation onto activated alumina (AA). Its innovation lies in the first-time utilization of Mn-Ce synergistic effects, combined with ozone (O₃) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) to construct a ternary catalytic system. Preparation parameters were optimized through orthogonal experiments, and the material was characterized using SEM, EDS, and XPS techniques. The results demonstrated that Mn and Ce were highly dispersed on the surface of AA, providing abundant active sites. CM-AA exhibited excellent recyclability: after 12 cycles of use, the HA removal rate remained above 90%, which was superior to most reported single-metal catalysts. The CM-AA/O₃/H₂O₂ system outperformed binary combinations, achieving a HA removal rate of 95.5% under optimal conditions (10 mg/L HA, 10 mg/L H₂O₂, 4 mg/L CM-AA, 20 min O₃ exposure). The adsorption of HA by CM-AA followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Freundlich model, indicating a predominantly physical adsorption mechanism. This study presents a low-cost and efficient bimetallic catalyst, along with a multi-component synergy strategy to enhance oxidation performance. The system shows promising application prospects in drinking water treatment and the purification of HA-polluted wastewater, though its applicability in real water matrices and large-scale application feasibility require further investigation.
