Wastewater modeling of Cr (VI) adsorption by sulfonated lignin of pine cones: equilibrium, kinetics, and isotherm study.
Article in BMC chemistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Water is vital to life, so preserving it from pollution is an important issue. Chromium, in its various oxidation states, poses a significant threat to water contamination. This study analyzes the sulfonation process, which improves the Cr (VI) adsorption capability of lignin (a bio-adsorbent generated from pine cones), to produce sulfonated lignin (SL). The optimal pH for Cr (VI) adsorption was 2. Within the first ten minutes, uptake was rapid; however, it slowed thereafter and eventually reached equilibrium after 30 min. The relationship between the initial and equilibrium concentrations of Cr (VI) was linear. The percentage of Cr (VI) removal increased as the SL dosage increased. The adsorption on SL was better explained by the Lagergren pseudo-second-order kinetic model than by the Elovich or intraparticle diffusion models. The adsorption data were better correlated by the linear form of the Langmuir-2 isotherm model than by the Freundlich and Tempkin models. The maximum monolayer sorption capacity (Qm) from the Langmuir isotherm model was determined to be 34.714 mg/g. The high monolayer capacity of SL implies that it is a highly effective adsorbent for Cr (VI). SL is a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and promising adsorbent with outstanding potential for removing Cr(VI) contaminants from polluted water.
