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

Electrocoagulation is an emerging process for water and wastewater treatment. However, there is a gap in understanding the effects of electrocoagulation operation (i.e., pH, applied current, electrode configuration) and the concentration dependencies of reactive species involved in the degradation of contaminants. Here, we show the development and validation of a batch reactor kinetic model for an electrocoagulation process in moderate to slightly acidic media for water treatment, guided by experimental data of electrocoagulation in synthetic wastewater at pH values of 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5. The kinetic model uniquely predicts the full transient profile of the ferryl ion, a short-lived reactive oxygen species (ROS), coupling anode, cathode, and bulk Fenton chemistry in a single model validated against measured Fe-(II), dissolved oxygen (DO), hydrogen peroxide (H
