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

The escalating release of synthetic dyes from textile and allied industries has become a pressing global environmental issue due to their toxicity, persistence, and resistance to biodegradation. Among the various treatment strategies, adsorption has emerged as one of the most efficient, economical, and sustainable techniques for dye removal from aqueous environments. This review highlights recent advances in bio-derived adsorbents-particularly raw biomass powders, biochars, and activated carbons-developed from renewable waste sources such as agricultural residues, fruit peels, shells, and plant fibers. It systematically discusses adsorption mechanisms, the influence of process parameters, kinetic and thermodynamic models, and regeneration performance. Furthermore, the review emphasizes the superior adsorption efficiency and cost-effectiveness of biomass-derived carbons compared to conventional adsorbents. The integration of surface modification, magnetization, and nanocomposite formation has further enhanced dye uptake and reusability. Overall, this study underscores the potential of biomass-derived materials as sustainable alternatives for wastewater treatment and environmental remediation.
