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

Organic dyes, such as Eriochrome Black T (EBT) and methyl green (MG), are widely used in the textile industry, leading to their accumulation in the environment. Thus, the present study aimed to synthesise functional graphene oxide-grafted dapsone (GOgD), which was incorporated into a chitosan/gelatin (CGe) blend at different dosages (10%, 20%, and 30%) for the preparation of nanomembranes. A series of techniques and tests, including FT-IR spectroscopy, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, and mechanical and antibacterial property analyses, were applied for the characterization of functional GOgD and nanomembranes. Moreover, ultraviolet and visible light irradiations were used to evaluate the photocatalytic degradation of the EBT and MG dyes. The data revealed that optimum mechanical properties were found for CGe-GOgD 20%, with a value of ∼85 MPa, compared with the unfilled blend (61.35 MPa). However, the CGe-GOgD 30% nanomembrane exhibited the best photocatalytic activity for the degradation of EBT at pH 5.0 and that of MG at pH 8.0, with degradation efficiencies of 90.8% and 97.9% under visible light and 83% and 90% under UV light, respectively. The kinetics of degradation for both dyes showed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The mechanism involved the production of the highly oxidizing species ˙OH and ˙O
