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 explores the interactions between montmorillonite (MMT) and selected amino acids (lysine, arginine, serine, and aspartate), as well as their complexes with heavy metal ions. Multi-technique characterization (e.g., XRD, FT-IR, XPS, SEM, TEM, and ICP-MS) revealed that MMT exhibits high affinity for basic amino acids, with the adsorption capacity following the order: amino > carboxyl > hydroxyl. The adsorption kinetics of lysine were well described by pseudo-second-order, Elovich, and Weber-Morris models, indicating a chemically controlled, two-stage process involving initial surface diffusion and subsequent internal diffusion. In contrast to the adsorption of amino acids, that of Cu
