Valorization of Tomato Stems into Biochar for Efficient Adsorptive Removal of Cationic and Anionic Dyes from Aqueous Solutions.

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 biochars obtained by pyrolyzing tomato stems at temperatures of 400, 500, 600, and 700 °C were characterized, and their ability to absorb anionic (Direct Orange 26, DO26) and cationic (Rhodamine B, RhB) dyes from aqueous solutions was investigated. The effects of solution pH and ionic strength were studied. It was found that the adsorption process of both dyes was pH-dependent, but no effect of ionic strength was observed. The kinetics of dye adsorption on biochars were well described by the pseudo-second-order model. The equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed using the Freundlich, Langmuir, and Temkin isotherms. All three equations described dye adsorption on biochars quite well, although a slightly better fit was observed for the Freundlich model. The maximum adsorption capacities of BCs ranged from 54.44 mg/g (BC400) to 108.1 mg/g (BC700) for DO26 and from 4.483 mg/g (BC700) to 8.887 mg/g (BC400) for RhB. The study reveals that biochars derived from tomato stems can be used as efficient, low-cost adsorbents for the removal of anionic and cationic dyes from water.
