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

Cationic dyes, even at low concentrations, pose serious risks to aquatic ecosystems and contribute to environmental pollution. Effective removal of these dyes is therefore essential for protecting water resources and marine life. This study investigates lignosulfonate-based adsorbents (L, LS, and LSR-F) for the removal of crystal violet (CV) dye from wastewater. Structural and physicochemical characterization using FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, TGA, and CHNS analysis confirmed the successful synthesis and functionalization of the adsorbents. Under optimal conditions (pH 8, 150 mg/L CV, 0.1 g adsorbent dose, room temperature), LSR-F achieved 98% removal efficiency within 15 min. Kinetic modeling with five approaches (pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, intraparticle diffusion, Boyd, and Elovich) revealed that adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order model, suggesting chemisorption as the dominant mechanism. Isotherm studies indicated that the Langmuir model best described the adsorption process, with LSR-F exhibiting a maximum adsorption capacity of 73.53 mg/g. Thermodynamic analysis further showed that the process was spontaneous and endothermic. Overall, LSR-F demonstrates excellent potential as a cost-effective, sustainable adsorbent for removing toxic cationic dyes from wastewater. By utilizing bio-industrial residues, this approach supports multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 14 (Life Below Water).
