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
Formaldehyde contamination in urban drinking water posed significant health and environmental risks, necessitating effective and sustainable elimination strategies. This applied research investigated the efficacy of the Sonozone process-a hybrid advanced oxidation technique combining ultrasound and ozone-for formaldehyde degradation in water. Laboratory-scale experiments were conducted under varying conditions of pH (3-11), contact time (0-32 min), formaldehyde concentration (110-330 mg/L), ozone dosage (0.2-0.6 mg/min L), and electrical power (50-150 W). Formaldehyde concentrations were measured using spectrophotometry at 400 nm via the chromotropic acid 6252 colorimetric method. The process followed first-order kinetics (R2 = 0.9839), and statistical analysis via one-way ANOVA (p < 0.05) confirmed the significance of operational parameters. Optimal elimination (100% efficiency) was achieved at 110 mg/L formaldehyde, pH 3, 32 min contact time, 0.6 mg/min·L ozone, and 150 W power. The Taguchi model identified formaldehyde concentration as the most influential factor. Energy consumption was calculated at 371 kJ total and 30,601 kJ/kg removed. The enhanced oxidation was attributed to ultrasound-induced cavitation, which promotes ozone decomposition and hydroxyl radical generation. Compared to other AOPs, Sonozone offered superior environmental compatibility and operational simplicity. Based on these findings, Sonozone was recommended as an effective and sustainable method for formaldehyde elimination in urban water treatment applications.
