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
Eutrophication of freshwater bodies is primarily caused by excessive nitrogen and phosphorus, resulting in significant environmental challenges, including harmful algal blooms and hypoxia. This review examines the potential for natural and modified zeolites to act as adsorbents and regulate nutrient concentrations in eutrophic freshwater ecosystems, excluding applications for wastewater or industrial water effluents. Natural zeolites are effective adsorbents of ammonium, whereas modified zeolites (with aluminum, iron, calcium, and many others) have been noted to have enhanced phosphate adsorption and a higher overall nutrient removal efficiency. The application of modified zeolites for controlling eutrophication in freshwater bodies has proven to have high efficiency in adsorbing nitrogen and phosphorus, resulting in reduced nutrient release from sediments and improved water quality in shallow lakes and reservoirs. This review describes the adsorption mechanisms and modification methods, with an appreciation for the multifunctional role of zeolites in nutrient immobilization and capping sediments. Finally, it presents the potential to use zeolite-based materials in eutrophic freshwater restoration through sustainable circular economy approaches. Zeolite materials present ample environmental applications for cost-effective and targeted mitigation approaches to freshwater eutrophication.
