Smart Materials for Dirty Waters: Reversible Aerogels Unlock Closed-Loop Heavy Metal Remediation.
Article in Small science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Water remediation technologies urgently require materials that are sustainable, efficient, and regenerable. Here, we report a dynamic covalent aerogel derived from chitosan and formylated lignin, enabling dual functionality in heavy metal adsorption and heterogeneous catalysis. The aerogel is formed through reversible imine bonds between chitosan and aldehyde-functionalized lignin, synthesized via a mild Reimer-Tiemann reaction. The resulting monoliths exhibit high structural integrity, solvent and pH resistance (pH ≥ 7), and remarkable adsorption capacities for Cu
