Foam-Enhanced Air Sparging Coupled with Soil Vapor Extraction for Remediation of Trichloroethylene DNAPL-Contaminated Soil.

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.
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
Conventional remediation technologies, such as soil vapor extraction (SVE) and air sparging combined with SVE (AS-SVE), are often constrained by gas channeling and mass-transfer limitations when treating trichloroethylene (TCE) dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) source zones. To overcome these challenges, this study developed an integrated oxidative foam-enhanced AS-SVE (Oxi-FEAS-SVE) system to improve contaminant accessibility, contaminant mass transfer, and degradation efficiency. The system employed oxidative foam composed of 32 mM α-olefin sulfonate (AOS) and 1500 mM sodium persulfate (SPS) to replace conventional air injection, with an AS/SVE flow ratio of 1:1 in a 5 L cylindrical soil reactor. Under these conditions, SVE alone and AS-SVE removed less than 2% of TCE through volatilization, whereas the Oxi-FEAS-SVE system achieved a total removal efficiency of 91% in this laboratory-scale study. This enhanced performance resulted from a two-stage process: an initial 3 h active operation that removed 54% of TCE primarily through DNAPL volatilization, followed by a 48 h static period that contributed an additional 37% removal through oxidative mineralization. Mechanistically, the AOS/SPS oxidative foam performs dual functions. It enhances interfacial contact area, promoting dissolution and volatilization for SVE capture, while simultaneously generating sulfate radicals via ambient-temperature activation of SPS to sustain oxidative degradation.
