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

Biochar-based treatment strategies have received growing interest; however, no comprehensive review has systematically assessed the mechanisms and performance of functionalized biochar for plasticizer remediation. This review critically compares pristine biochar and its advances in biochar modifications for plasticizer adsorption. Additionally, it unveils how functionalized biochar integrates with advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to achieve synergistic adsorption and degradation of plasticizers in water. As different studies have used varying initial concentrations, a direct comparison is not appropriate. Therefore, the partition coefficient (PC) was determined to enable a normalized and insightful comparison. The modified biochar exhibited higher PC values (0.179-42.7 L g
