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
This study focuses on the removal of Red F2B dye from aqueous solutions using hydrochar prepared from industrial waste via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC). The synthesized hydrochar was thoroughly characterized to assess its structural and surface features (FTIR, XRD, and FESEM-EDS). A series of adsorption trials was performed to examine the influence of pH, temperature, contact time, dye concentration, and hydrochar dosage on dye elimination efficiency. The results indicated that dye removal was highly dependent on pH, achieving optimal removal at pH 3, and that it exhibited endothermic characteristics. The adsorption equilibrium data aligned well with the Langmuir model, with a calculated maximum adsorption capacity of 44.24 mg/g. Kinetic modeling suggested a pseudo-second-order mechanism, indicating that chemisorption governed the adsorption rate. Thermodynamic evaluations confirmed that the process was spontaneous and energy-absorbing. Process optimization was performed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM), which identified pH, hydrochar dose, contact time, and initial dye concentration as key influencing factors. Overall, this study demonstrates the feasibility of utilizing HTC-derived hydrochar from industrial sludge as a sustainable and efficient adsorbent for dye-contaminated wastewater, promoting circular economy and resource recovery concepts.
