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

This study presents a fixed-bed column packed with zeolite, activated carbon, and carbon nanotubes synthesized by chemical vapor deposition, which were used to adsorb heavy metals (As and Pb) from water. Water containing 50 mg/L of the target heavy metal was filtered through the column. The materials were characterized before and after their use in the column by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The analyses confirmed the structural stability and functional efficiency of each adsorbent material. A removal efficiency of 100% was achieved within the first 15 min for both metals, decreasing to 45% for As and 95% for Pb. The experimental data were evaluated using the Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, and Adams-Bohart models. For arsenic, an R
