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 persistence of pharmaceuticals in aquatic environments poses an increasing threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health, as conventional wastewater treatment plants often fail to remove contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) effectively. This work offers a systematic comparative assessment of the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂, ZnO, CeO₂, Bi₂O₃, and WO₃ nanoparticles for degrading chloroquine phosphate (CLQ), a widely used antiviral and anti-inflammatory drug, under ultraviolet irradiation in ultrapure water, drinking water, and synthetic seawater. The semiconductors were thoroughly characterised for morphology, crystalline structure, optical bandgap, and surface charge. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, including hydroxyl radicals (
