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 sustainable recycling of platinum group metals (PGMs) from secondary resources requires task-specific adsorbents that offer both high extraction efficiency and environmental compatibility. However, rhodium recovery remains particularly challenging due to the high thermodynamic stability of its chloro-complexes, which hampers ligand exchange with adsorbent binding sites. Here, we report a series of porous organic polymer (POP)-based nanotraps for targeted rhodium extraction, functionalized with pincer-type chelators, whose installation was realized by mechanochemical imine bond formation in a green, solvent-free manner. Among them, POP-Py-OMe bearing electron-donating -OMe groups, exhibits the highest rhodium uptake capacity and the fastest extraction kinetics from aqueous solution, significantly outperforming its -OH and -H analogues. Furthermore, sequential breakthrough experiments employing various task-specific POPs as column packing adsorbents enable the efficient and selective separation of Pt, Pd, and Rh in sequence with high purity, highlighting a practical and modular strategy for comprehensive PGM recovery.
