Raw Clay-Assisted Fenton Removal of Dark Blue Reactive Dye: Experimental Assessment Supported by DFT Insights.
Article in ACS omega, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study examines the removal of the azo dye dark blue (DB) using natural raw clay as an iron-bearing material in a clay-based Fenton system. Characterization of the natural mineral via XRD, FTIR, and SEM/EDX confirmed a quartz-rich structure containing native iron. The main objectives were to evaluate the effect of pH on color removal efficiency over time, to assess the contribution of adsorption on the clay surface, and to clarify the molecular interactions between DB and the clay. Optimization of the initial pH showed that the highest color and COD removal efficiencies were achieved at a pH of 4. Comparative experiments involving conventional Fenton reactions at pH 3 and pH 4, together with ultrasound-assisted clay-based Fenton oxidation under identical molar ratios, showed that the presence of clay improved dye removal at pH 4, whereas adsorption accounted for only 8% of the overall removal under the investigated conditions. To gain deeper insights into the adsorption step, density functional theory (DFT) calculations based on the cluster approximation were performed to model the molecular and electronic interactions between DB and the clay surface. The calculations, carried out at the B3LYP-D3-(BJ)/6-311G-(d,p) level with CPCM water solvation, indicate that adsorption is mainly governed by weak noncovalent interactions and suggest two distinct adsorption modes: DB is stabilized on the CLAY-(Si-O) surface primarily through localized hydrogen bonds, whereas its stabilization on the CLAY-(Al-O) surface results from the cumulative contribution of weaker and more diffuse noncovalent interactions.
