Adsorption of hazardous Cr(VI) on CoMnZnO nanomaterials: experimental and statistical approach.
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
The removal of hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] from contaminated water remains a critical environmental challenge due to its high toxicity and carcinogenicity. In this study, a novel Co₃O₄–MnO₂–ZnO nanocomposite (CoMnZnONs) was synthesized via a co-precipitation method and evaluated as an efficient adsorbent for Cr(VI) removal. Structural and morphological characterization using HRTEM, SAED, EDS, XRD, and FTIR confirmed the formation of uniformly distributed, polycrystalline nanoparticles with an average size of 20–30 nm. Batch adsorption experiments demonstrated that adsorption performance is strongly influenced by pH, contact time, and adsorbent dosage, with optimal removal achieved at pH 4 and equilibrium attained within 60 min. Kinetic studies indicated that the adsorption process follows a pseudo-second-order model (R2 ≈ 1), suggesting a chemisorption mechanism. Isotherm analysis revealed a better fit with the Freundlich model (R2 = 0.9958), indicating heterogeneous multilayer adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity was determined to be 294.11 mg/g, exceeding many reported adsorbents. Thermodynamic parameters confirmed that the process is spontaneous and exothermic. Statistical physics modeling further suggested a double-layer adsorption mechanism with multi-docking interactions. The adsorbent exhibited excellent reusability, retaining over 92% of its efficiency after five cycles. These findings highlight the potential of CoMnZnONs as a cost-effective and sustainable material for advanced wastewater treatment applications.
