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

Phosphorus (P) contamination in agricultural runoff is a major environmental concern due to its contribution to eutrophication and deterioration of water quality. Ortho-phosphate extraction from aqueous model systems and agricultural runoff samples was investigated using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-magnetic nanoparticles (CTAB-MNPs), sodium dodecylsulfate-magnetic nanoparticles (SDS-MNPs), and Mill scale. It was monitored using UV-visible spectroscopy based on the molybdenum blue method, while the adsorption mechanism of P on MNPs was evaluated through time-dependent studies, FTIR, zeta potential (ζ), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and FESEM-EDS. CTAB-MNPs promoted P adsorption through favorable electrostatic interactions between positively charged quaternary ammonium groups and negatively charged phosphate ions, while SDS-MNPs enhanced P uptake by improving nanoparticle dispersion, colloidal stability, and accessibility of iron oxide active sites. Time-dependent studies revealed that the adsorption kinetics followed the order SDS-MNPs > Mill Scale > CTAB-MNPs. IR, XPS, FESEM-EDS and ζ analyses confirmed the presence of adsorbed P on the surface of MNPs. The results demonstrated that P removal was also governed by inner-sphere complexation with iron oxide active sites rather than electrostatic interactions alone, highlighting the potential of surfactant-modified MNPs and Mill scale as effective materials for P extraction from agricultural runoff.
