Adsorption of methylene blue onto clay: experiments and statistical physics interpretation.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
This study explored the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions using natural clay as an adsorbent. The effects of contact time, initial dye concentration, adsorbent dosage, and pH were systematically evaluated. Analysis of correlation coefficients (R2) for the kinetic and isotherm models indicated that the adsorption kinetics follow a pseudo-first-order model, while the Langmuir isotherm provided the best fit to the experimental data at 303, 313, and 323 K. To further elucidate the adsorption mechanism, a generalized model based on statistical physics was applied. Steric analysis examined the number of dye molecules bound per active site, the estimated number of layers formed, receptor site density, and overall adsorption capacity. This model also yielded two adsorption energies associated with MB-clay and MB-MB interactions, ranging from 29.845 to 31.191 kJ/mol and from 21.981 to 24.692 kJ/mol, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters confirmed that MB adsorption is spontaneous under all studied conditions. Overall, these results highlight natural clay as a cost-effective and efficient adsorbent for removing dyes from aqueous solutions.
