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

The present paper investigates the adsorption performance of pinewood-derived biochars produced at two pyrolysis temperatures (850 °C, PW-A; 1000 °C, PW-B), including sieved fractions (PW-A1 and PW-A2) and a functionalized variant (PW-C), for the removal of five short- and intermediate-chain PFASs (PFBA, PFBS, PFHxA, PFHxS, and GenX) from water under continuous-flow conditions. Adsorption behavior was evaluated using Freundlich and Hill isotherm models. The Hill model provided a superior fit for most PFAS-adsorbent systems, highlighting the importance of cooperativity effects, particularly for short-chain PFASs. In single-compound experiments, PFBS and GenX showed the highest adsorption capacities (up to 82.3 and 68.5 mg g
