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

Microplastic remediation strategies often overlook the management and valorization of the recovered waste, limiting their overall sustainability. Herein, we propose a closed-loop water remediation strategy in which polyethylene terephthalate microplastics (MicroPET) are not only removed from water but also converted into new magnetic nanomaterials for subsequent remediation cycles. MicroPET was initially harvested using magnetic iron oxide nanoflowers (NFs) and subsequently depolymerized by neutral hydrolysis, achieving an unscaled gravimetric PET mass conversion of 97%. Upon process scale-up and downstream purification, an isolated monomer yield of 28.7% was obtained for both purified terephthalic acid (TPA) and ethylene glycol (EG), as confirmed by
