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

Synthetic dyes like methylene blue (MB) persist in aquatic environment and threaten human and animal health. Agricultural by-products like banana flower (BF) wastes can be converted into low-cost adsorbent for sustainable dye uptake. This study reveals the conversion of discarded banana flower (Musa paradisiaca) waste into an efficient and sustainable biosorbent for MB elimination from aqueous media. Acid modification was utilized to enhance the adsorption performance of raw banana flower (RBF), producing modified banana flower (MBF) with enhanced surface functionality and adsorption affinity. Surface and structural validation using XRD, SEM, FT-IR, and BET analyses confirmed the predominantly amorphous mesoporous structure and the presence of oxygen-containing functional groups such as -OH, C = O, and C-O responsible for dye binding. BET study revealed a surface area of 106.3 m
