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

Carbon-based materials like activated carbon (AC) are frequently applied for water treatments and remediation. The increasing use and functionalization of AC, especially with the recent mandate to implement quaternary treatments to remove organic micropollutants (Directive 2024/3019), may inadvertently introduce AC or leachate products to aquatic bodies. Such occurrences pose potential risks to inhabiting organisms, which have been understudied. This study assessed the environmental safety of an AC obtained from spent brewery grains (SBG)-a lignocellulosic biomass-through microwave pyrolysis with potassium carbonate activation. The resulting AC (SBG-AC) was washed, sieved (powder, particle size ≤ 180 µm), and tested for its ecotoxicological effects on the marine mussel
