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

The transformation of fly ash into high-value nanomaterials presents a sustainable route for waste valorization. In this study, silica nanoparticles were synthesized from fly ash using three different methods: acid-precipitation of dense silica, surfactant-templated sol-gel synthesis for mesoporous silica, and a one-pot thermal activation process integrating silica extraction and nanoparticle formation. The resulting nanomaterials were functionalized with amine ligand to enhance their affinity toward anionic pharmaceutical pollutants in water. Physicochemical characterization confirmed successful silica formation and surface modification. The mesoporous silica exhibited a specific surface area of 620 m
