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

This study aims to enhance the adsorption capacity of activated carbon (AC) and optimize the cumulative effect of various operational parameters on the removal of Ni (II) ions, providing a comprehensive understanding of the removal process. Activated carbon was modified using the Fenton oxidation process to produce modified activated carbon (MAC). The functional groups and morphological features of MAC were characterized using FTIR spectroscopy, particle size analysis, high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM), and surface area measurements. To optimize the removal efficiency, response surface methodology (RSM) was employed using a central composite design (CCD). The predicted removal capacities showed good agreement with experimental values, with a determination coefficient (R
