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 reports the development of a sustainable alkali-activated glass-hydroxyapatite composite (AAC-P@HAp) synthesized entirely from waste-derived precursors, including post-consumer glass bottles, eggshells, and plantain bunch stalk ash (as an alkali source), for fluoride removal from aqueous systems. The composite was produced through controlled alkali activation of micronized waste glass followed by hydrothermal-assisted integration of eggshell-derived hydroxyapatite within the aluminosilicate matrix. FTIR, XRF, SEM-EDX, and XRD confirmed successful composite formation of a hybrid silicate-phosphate material and revealed fluoride-induced changes in Ca-P domains after adsorption, indicating strong adsorbent-adsorbate interactions and chemical immobilization. Batch adsorption experiments demonstrated rapid fluoride uptake, with kinetic behavior adequately described by the pseudo-first-order model, while equilibrium data were better represented by the Freundlich isotherm, consistent with heterogeneous surface binding dominated by chemisorption. Thermodynamic analysis indicated that fluoride adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic. Within the Box-Behnken experimental domain, AAC-P@HAp achieved stable fluoride removal efficiencies in a narrow range (83-87%), with pH exerting the dominant influence on performance. Regeneration tests showed good initial reusability followed by a progressive decline attributed to irreversible chemisorption and depletion/phase transformation. In all, the results demonstrate the feasibility of converting multiple waste streams into a robust composite adsorbent and highlights AAC-P@HAp as a circular-economy-oriented material for secure fluoride immobilization rather than extensive multi-cycle reuse.
