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

Electrocoagulation (EC) is an electrochemical wastewater treatment technique that removes contaminants via in situ generation of metal (oxy)hydroxide coagulants from anode dissolution. This work investigates the effects of electrode pairing, waveform, and pulse frequency, and their synergy on phosphate removal. An SS-304 anode was paired with an SS-304 or Al6061 cathode, and the hybrid SS(A)-Al(C) combination achieved accelerated removal (69.9%) in 20 min compared to the similar SS(A)-SS(C) (45.2%) configuration. Pulsed direct voltage (PDV) waveforms outperformed direct current (DC) and pulsed direct current (PDC) waveforms, and among 1, 5, and 10 Hz, 5 Hz PDV delivered the best balance between enhanced dissolution and capacitive losses. In PDV mode, phosphate removals of 80.0% ± 1.3% and 99.9% ± 0.1% were achieved within 20 and 120 min, respectively, with a removal efficiency of 186.5-208.7 g PO
