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

The green synthesis of iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) using plant extracts has attracted considerable attention because of their potential to effectively decolorize dye-containing wastewater. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism remains a topic of debate, mainly due to the complex composition of the extracts. In this study, we introduced a novel and well-defined model system by employing a single polyphenol, ellagic acid (EA), as both reducing and capping agent to synthesize iron particles (Fe-EA). This strategic approach not only circumvents the compositional variability of conventional plant extracts but also enables a fundamental molecular-level understanding of the adsorption process. The resulting Fe-EA particles exhibited eminent malachite green (MG) removal performance, achieving high removal efficiency (over 86.4% within 10 min), which was comparable to that of FeNPs derived from complex pomegranate extracts. Comprehensive characterizations (SEM, EDS, XRD, FTIR, XPS) confirmed that the particles consist of a Fe(II, III)-EA complex self-assembled into unique hollow spherical structures. Adsorption isotherm data were best described by the Langmuir model, indicating homogeneous monolayer adsorption and a maximum calculated capacity of 4149.4 mg (g Fe)
