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
To address heavy metal contamination in wastewater, this study developed a novel chelating resin (PS-2-AB) by grafting 2-aminobenzimidazole onto chloromethylated polystyrene. The resin was characterized using SEM, BET, FTIR, and XPS to confirm successful modification and analyze its structural properties. Batch adsorption tests were conducted to evaluate its removal performance for Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions. Under optimal conditions (pH 5.0-7.0, dosage: 1.0 g/L), PS-2-AB achieved maximum adsorption capacities of 125.04 mg/g for Cu(II) and 157.44 mg/g for Ni(II), which are significantly higher than those of the commercial resin D113 (44.68 mg/g for Cu(II) and 25.17 mg/g for Ni(II)) under the same conditions. Adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order model, indicating chemisorption-dominated behavior, while equilibrium data fit the Langmuir model, suggesting monolayer adsorption. Thermodynamic parameters confirmed a spontaneous and endothermic process. After five regeneration cycles, PS-2-AB retained approximately 87% (Cu) and 89% (Ni) of its original capacity, demonstrating good reusability. These results indicate that PS-2-AB exhibits markedly better adsorption performance than D113, making it a promising and cost-effective adsorbent for the efficient removal of Cu(II) and Ni(II) from aqueous media.
