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

The development of sustainable heterogeneous catalysts from agricultural waste offers an environmentally friendly strategy for advanced wastewater treatment. In this study, a novel waste-derived watermelon rind/magnetite (WMR/Fe₃O₄) composite was successfully fabricated as a magnetically recoverable catalyst for the synergistic adsorption-photo-Fenton degradation of SPR Red dye as an azo dye from aqueous solutions. The novelty of this work lies in integrating lignocellulosic watermelon rind with Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles to simultaneously enhance pollutant adsorption, catalytic oxidation, and catalyst recovery through a simple, low-cost preparation route. The synthesized composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confirming the successful formation of crystalline Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles uniformly distributed over the biomass support. The effects of operational parameters, including catalyst dosage, hydrogen peroxide concentration, pH, dye concentration, and temperature, were systematically investigated. Under the optimum operating conditions (pH 2.9, catalyst dosage 1.0-1.2 g L⁻
