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

Recent advancements in treatment technologies have emphasized the importance of innovative methods for pollutant removal. Among these, sonocatalysis has gained attention for its potential to enhance degradation processes. In this context, the synthetic azo dye Orange-G (OG) is sonocatalytically degraded using potassium persulfate (KPS) under ultrasound (US) irradiation at 213 kHz. This study aimed to achieve complete mineralization of OG in an aqueous solution and examined the effects of several operational factors, including pH, dye concentration, catalyst dose, and energy input, on the degradation efficiency. The degradation percentages observed for dye concentrations of 10 ppm, 25 ppm, 50 ppm, 75 ppm, and 100 ppm were as follows: 98.88% degradation after 90 min for 10 ppm, 97.87% after 90 min for 25 ppm, 97.71% after 360 min for 50 ppm, 97.61% after 420 min for 75 ppm, and 96.19% after 360 min for 100 ppm. These results indicate that the reaction follows pseudo-first-order kinetics, where the dye concentration is inversely proportional to the rate constant. COD measurements indicated significant mineralization, achieving over 96% degradation at both low and high dye concentrations, with 98% at higher energy input. The study also evaluated the minimal impact of other electrolytes, such as MgSO4, KCl, and NaCl, on dye degradation. This research demonstrates the effectiveness of US-assisted sono-catalysis with KPS for treating dye-contaminated wastewater, thereby enhancing environmental cleanup. This study demonstrated the effectiveness of sono-catalytic degradation using potassium persulfate and ultrasound irradiation for the removal of the azo dye Orange-G from aqueous solutions. The results indicate that achieving over 95% degradation across various dye concentrations showcases the potential of this method for wastewater treatment. Furthermore, the minimal impact of other electrolytes indicates the robustness of the technique. Overall, these findings highlight sono-catalysis as a promising strategy for the environmental remediation of dye-contaminated wastewater.
