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

Cyanide is extensively used in hydrometallurgical leaching due to its strong metal-chelating ability, yet its acute toxicity raises major environmental concerns. This study evaluates photoactivated BiVO₄ synthesized by the sol-gel method and combined with ozone for the degradation of metal-cyanide complexes in alkaline matrices (pH 10.5) containing silver, copper, iron, lead, and zinc, representative of effluents from silver leaching in the Mexican mining industry. Synthetic solutions were prepared and characterized to reproduce these conditions. Thermodynamic stability diagrams indicated that free cyanide and complexes such as Ag(CN)₂⁻, Cu(CN)₃
