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

Bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl)- copper oxide (CuO) heterostructures were synthesized via a solvothermal route and assessed as visible-light-driven photocatalysts for methyl orange (MO) degradation. Different CuO loadings deposited on BiOCl microspheres were investigated to identify the optimal composition. Structural and physicochemical characterization revealed that low CuO content (0.6 wt. %) promoted uniform dispersion and enhanced surface area, whereas higher loadings led to nonuniform coverage and reduced photocatalytic efficiency. Operating conditions were optimized using response surface methodology based on a central composite design, considering catalyst dosage (0.1-0.8 g L
