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

Polymerization-based advanced oxidation processes (P-AOPs) represent a promising strategy for simultaneous pollutant abatement and water resource recovery. However, selective removal of halogenated organic pollutants via P-AOP remains challenging due to uncontrollable oligomerization pathways and radical chain inhibition induced by the chlorine substituent. Here, we develop an axial-nitrogen-coordinated single-atom iron catalyst (Fe-NCN) that triggers an electron-transfer pathway (ETP) via enhanced electronic pulling on 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP), achieving near-complete dechlorination and catalytic transformation into polymeric products. Spectroscopic characterization and theoretical calculations reveal that the axial coordination of Fe-NCN regulates peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation to form surface PMS* complex, which oxidizes the adjacent TCP via a short-range ETP regime due to the charge-constrained nature of the carbon nitride substrate. Upon electron extraction from TCP, PMS* is transformed into an active surface hydroxyl intermediate (OH
