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
Nitrate contamination of water resources poses significant ecological and public health risks. This study developed a cobalt-immobilized microplastic catalyst (Co-MP) capable of activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and facilitating formic-acid-assisted catalytic denitrification of nitrate. Characterization via Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) confirmed successful Co deposition, with the surface cobalt content reaching 5.2%. The system's performance was optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM), identifying catalyst dosage and Co(II) concentration as the most significant factors. Under the optimized conditions (pH 5.5, reaction time 120 min, catalyst dosage 1.5 g L
