Comparative analysis of natural and synthetic surfactant adsorption by quartz minerals: an experimental study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The efficacy of surfactant flooding for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) can be considerably diminished by the adsorption of surfactant on reservoir rocks. The primary purpose of this study is to assess the equilibrium adsorption behavior of natural (Ziziphus Spina-Christi, ZSC) and to compare with that of synthetic (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate, SDS) surfactants onto sandstone (quartz) minerals, which has been rarely reported in the available literature. Such a systematic investigation is beneficial for selecting a proper surfactant in EOR applications. For this purpose, electrical conductivity (EC), ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) techniques were employed to measure the adsorption of surfactant on quartz minerals. From the results of this study, it can be pointed out that the maximum adsorption of SDS and ZCS on quartz minerals is approximately 3 mg/g and 25 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption rate of both surfactants increased with increasing surfactant concentration up to the critical micelle concentration (CMC). The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherm models were used to predict the experimental data. Based on the experimental findings, the Langmuir isotherm provides a good fit to the experimental data, with coefficients of determination (R²) of 0.9917 for ZSC and 0.9858 for SDS.
