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
Reverse osmosis is an advanced treatment technology, which shows high removal efficiencies for emerging pollutants; however, during the removal process, concentrate containing pollutants such as microplastics (MPs) is generated. Electro-coagulation (EC) offers lower chemical use, less sludge, and better removal efficiency when it comes to removing MPs. This study evaluated various EC conditions to optimize the removal of MP particles identified in the reverse osmosis wastewater exceeding 1,000 ea/L, with 14 types of MP polymers. Through EC batch experiments, the effects of inter-electrode distance, current density, and initial pH on turbidity and MPs removal were analyzed according to reaction time. Considering energy consumption as a priority, 95% removal rate of MPs was achieved under optimal conditions, which included an inter-electrode distance of 10 mm, a current density of 3 mA/cm
