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 pressing issues of organic pollutants contamination of aquatic ecosystems challenges current research. Herein, we prepared three melamine-based POFs, to remove organic dyes from water. Melamine was polymerized with 1,4-dibromobutane (POF-1,4), terephthalaldehyde (POF-TerA) and trimesic acid (POF-TriA), obtaining POFs of different structural order degree and aromaticity. POFs were characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, BET, powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. They were employed to remove cationic (Rhodamine B, RhB and Methylene Blue, MB) and anionic dyes (Methyl Orange, MO and Eosin Yellow, EY), using UV-vis investigation. The adsorption process was studied from the kinetic and thermodynamic points of view and reusing the best adsorbent was also considered. Data collected evidence that adsorption capacity depends on the POF structure, with maximum adsorption capacity, according to Langmuir isotherm model, of 329 mg/g for POF-1,4/MO and 472 mg/g for POF-TerA/RhB. Interactions involved in the adsorption were also elucidated. Comparison with reported data demonstrates that our materials show comparable performance to some previously reported systems. Furthermore, POF-TriA, is effective for dye mixtures and reusable three times without performance loss, after washing with methanol, avoiding harsh acidic/basic treatments. Results obtained systematically relate the adsorption efficiency to structural features of melamine-based POFs, representing useful support in designing such materials to remove selected classes of contaminants.
