Efficient Tetracycline Adsorption by KOH-Activated Yak-Dung Biochar: Mechanistic Insights.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 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
In this study, yak dung was used as a precursor to prepare biochar (KYBC600) via high-temperature pyrolysis and KOH modification for the adsorption of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) from aqueous solution. Compared with commonly used biomass feedstocks such as straw and fruit shells, the resource-oriented utilization of yak dung holds dual significance: it contributes to regional environmental management and enables high-value conversion of waste, underscoring its distinct regional relevance and potential for synergistic environmental governance. The physicochemical properties of KYBC600 were characterized using BET surface area analysis, FTIR, XRD, and SEM. Adsorption behavior and mechanisms were systematically investigated through kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic studies, supplemented by response surface methodology (RSM). The results demonstrated that the adsorption of TCH onto KYBC600 followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 54.10 mg·g
