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 growing contamination of water resources with persistent dyes and pharmaceuticals necessitates the development of rapid and energy-efficient remediation technologies. We present a microfluidic purification reactor that synergistically integrates piezophotocatalysis with flow-engineered microstructures to enable rapid pollutant degradation. The microreactor, fabricated from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) via laser micromachining, was optimized with strategically positioned micropillars to induce turbulence and enhance mass transfer, with COMSOL Multiphysics simulations validating flow behavior and vorticity patterns. Catalytic functionality was introduced through an electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofiber membrane embedded with MoS
