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 sugar industry faces significant challenges in achieving high purity and maximizing yield during production, particularly in the crucial clarification stage. Effective clarifying agents are essential for this process. Activated carbon has emerged as a highly suitable adsorbent for removing impurities from sugarcane juice, due to its strong adsorption capacity. This study focuses on preparing nano activated carbon (NAC) derived from mixed fruit peels for clarifying sugarcane juice. Using Design-Expert software, we optimized the experimental parameters for NAC production, determining the optimal conditions: carbonization at 410 °C for 100 min with an acid impregnation ratio of 1. Under these conditions, the resulting NAC achieved a yield of 74.86%, a fixed carbon content of 89.25 ± 0.38%, and a specific surface area of 650.87 ± 0.26 m
