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

Activated carbon was produced from olive waste to investigate the adsorption behavior of methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) dyes in aqueous solutions. The adsorbent was characterized using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, and adsorption isotherms were measured at three different temperatures. A statistical physics framework was employed to analyze the adsorption mechanisms of the dyes on the carbon surface. The steric, energetic, and thermodynamic characteristics of the most relevant advanced were analyzed in detail. The number of active sites for MB was determined to range from 1.32 to 1.78, while for MO it ranged from 1.23 to 1.62, indicating that the orientation of dye molecules on the adsorbent is influenced by temperature. Overall, MB shows a slightly higher adsorption capacity than MO. Moreover, increasing the temperature reduces adsorption, indicating that the process is exothermic for both dyes. Moreover, adsorption energy values ranging from 9.85 to 18.90 kJ/mol indicate that physical interactions are responsible for the adsorption process. Thermodynamic characteristics demonstrated that deyes adsorption onto the AC adsorbent is spontaneous and feasible.
