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 increasing discharge of synthetic dyes into industrial wastewater necessitates sustainable and low-cost treatment strategies. This study valorizes orange seed powder (OSP), an abundant agro-food residue, as a novel biosorbent for Congo red (CR) removal through a combined experimental and molecular simulation approach. Raw OSP was prepared solely by drying and grinding, without chemical activation, emphasizing its practical applicability and environmental sustainability. Physicochemical characterization using FTIR, SEM, and EDX confirmed adsorption-induced structural and compositional changes. Batch experiments evaluated the effects of initial dye concentration, adsorbent dosage, pH, temperature, and contact time. Equilibrium data were well fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models (
