Enhanced adsorptive removal of ammonia nitrogen from wastewater by EDTA-2Na modified vermiculite.
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
Ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), a prevalent persistent and refractory pollutant in aqueous environments, compromises ecosystem structural integrity and poses potential risks to human health due to its long-term persistence. The development of efficient and cost-effective technologies for its removal is therefore imperative. In this study, a novel vermiculite-based adsorbent was fabricated through modification with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA-2Na), designated as E-V. Compared to natural vermiculite (NV), the modified adsorbent exhibits a significant enhancement in ammonia nitrogen adsorption performance. Specifically, the 0.3E-V variant achieved an adsorption capacity of 18.45 mg·g-1 with a maximum removal efficiency of 95%, representing a 50% improvement over NV. The adsorption process was well-described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Freundlich isotherm model, suggesting that chemical and multilayer adsorption are the dominant mechanisms. Furthermore, application of the intraparticle diffusion model indicated that the adsorption process is co-governed by intraparticle diffusion and liquid film diffusion. These results provide valuable insights into the potential of natural vermiculite for wastewater treatment.
