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
Organic dyes are major contributors to industrial wastewater pollution, particularly from the textile sector. Approximately 10-15% of synthetic dyes produced globally are released into wastewater, posing significant environmental risks. In this study, a novel 2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl imino-chitosan (HMPI-chitosan) was chemically synthesized and evaluated as a green biosorbent for methyl orange (MO) removal from contaminated water. The formation of imine functional groups was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy, while SEM revealed smooth, porous, and uniform beads with an average particle size of 776.4 μm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis further confirmed the nanoscale internal structure and uniform morphology of HMPI-chitosan beads. XRD patterns indicated the amorphous nature of the material. BET analysis showed a marked increase in surface area and porosity from 8.6 m²/g for native chitosan to 42.8 m²/g for HMPI-chitosan, confirming enhanced structural properties and greater accessibility of active sites. Adsorption performance was evaluated under varying conditions of pH (4-8), contact time (5-25 min), adsorbent dosage (20-60 mg), initial dye concentration (5-35 ppm), and temperature (25-50 °C). Rapid kinetics were observed, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 8.3 mg/g. The process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R² = 0.990), and equilibrium data were well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm (R² = 0.992), confirming monolayer adsorption onto a homogeneous surface. Thermodynamic analysis revealed negative Gibbs free energy (ΔG°), enthalpy (ΔH°), and entropy (ΔS°), indicating a spontaneous, exothermic process with decreased randomness at the solid-liquid interface. Under optimized conditions (pH 4, 20 min contact time, 30 mg adsorbent dosage, 35 ppm initial concentration, and 30 °C), the biosorbent achieved > 98% removal efficiency. These results highlight HMPI-chitosan as a promising, eco-friendly adsorbent for practical wastewater treatment applications.
