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.
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
Efficient removal of acidic impurities such as hydrogen chloride (HCl) is essential for hydrogen purification, yet most conventional adsorbents are nonregenerable and require frequent replacement, underscoring the need for scalable, regenerable alternatives. This study evaluates the aluminum-based metal-organic framework (MOF) Al-CAU-60 as a regenerable HCl adsorbent. A reproducible, scalable reflux synthesis was developed for phosphonate-based Al-CAU-60·6HCl, enabling 10 L scale production with high yield (151 g, >96%) and preserved crystallinity. Following neutralization, the MOF was shaped into mechanically robust pellets (Al-CAU-60/PVF) using 10 wt % polyvinyl formal (PVF) as a binder. Structural and chemical integrity were confirmed through scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), and thermogravimetric (TGA) analyses. Under dynamic breakthrough tests (10 bar, 25 °C, 100 ppm of HCl), Al-CAU-60/PVF showed an average HCl uptake of 1.38 mmol/g at the 1 ppm breakthrough and 1.73 mmol/g at saturation. The material retained its performance over seven adsorption-regeneration cycles using only water-triggered desorption, demonstrating an exceptional example of fully regenerable, phosphonate-based MOF sorbents. In contrast, zeolite 13X, while initially more active, lost ∼90% capacity after the first cycle, confirming the superior cyclic stability of Al-CAU-60/PVF. Mechanistic analysis revealed that HCl adsorption proceeds via reversible protonation-deprotonation of phosphonate groups during water-based regeneration.
