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

This study reports the green synthesis of activated carbon (ANC) from Cocoa Pod Husk (CPH), a lignocellulosic agrowaste, using sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide treatments for Methylene Blue (MB) removal. Among the synthesised samples, ANCSH5 (NaOH, 5 M) exhibited superior performance due to extensive delignification, enhanced graphitization, and an abundance of oxygenated functionalities, as confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller Method (BET), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Point of Zero Charge (pH
