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

Prolonged exposure to arsenic (As)-contaminated water poses a serious risk to human health due to its high toxicity, which can cause skin lesions and, in the most severe cases, various types of cancer. It is therefore imperative to develop effective strategies to remove it. However, conventional removal methods have significant limitations for eliminating this metalloid, prompting research into sustainable alternatives, including photocatalytic oxidation. This mini-review examines the most recent advances in photocatalytic oxidation of As(iii) to As(v) species, with a special emphasis on the primary photocatalysts employed, the reaction mechanisms involved, and the operating parameters that determine process efficiency. Various photocatalysts, based on both metal oxides and carbonaceous materials, have shown high efficiencies under ultraviolet and visible irradiation. Likewise, strategies to optimize photocatalytic performance have been explored, such as the construction of heterojunctions and doping with metallic and non-metallic elements, which facilitate charge separation and enhance light absorption, thereby promoting the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Among these, hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) and superoxide radicals (˙O
