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

Ultrasonically assisted catalysis-also called sonocatalysis-is one of the advanced oxidation processes used for wastewater treatment. It has been shown that using nanoparticles of piezoelectric materials as nanocatalysts in sonocatalysis greatly enhances the catalytic reaction rates, a phenomenon that has been dubbed piezocatalysis. Since both sonocatalysis and piezocatalysis are excited by ultrasonic waves and occur simultaneously, it is challenging to discriminate between these two processes and to quantify the contribution of the material's piezoelectric properties to the overall catalytic activity. It has been previously reported that the piezoelectric properties of the catalyst nanoparticles can improve their catalytic activities by up to one order of magnitude. In this study, we compare the catalytic activity of nanoparticles of both ferroelectric and paraelectric BaTiO
