Sustainable valorization of poultry waste through optimized keratin extraction and its prospective use in dye adsorption.

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
Chicken feathers (CFs) are an important by-product of the poultry industry, accounting for 4-6% of the total weight of the chicken. CFs pose serious environmental problems because of traditional disposal methods like incineration and landfilling. CFs are rich in keratin and can be used as a biopolymer for various applications, such as wastewater treatment. The present study optimized keratin extraction by Box-Behnken Design (BBD), evaluating the effects of temperature, time, and reducing agent concentration to maximize the yield. Characterization via Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed preserved protein structure, semicrystalline nature and thermal stability. Keratin beads (KBs) were fabricated for the removal of Congo Red (CR) from aqueous solutions. Batch adsorption studies investigated pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and initial dye concentration, achieving removal efficiencies of ~80%. Kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order model (R
