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

This study explores the valorisation of post-industrial recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) via incorporation of sepiolite clay to develop a composite adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) dye removal. The composite formulation was evaluated by varying the rPET concentration, TFA:DCM solvent ratio, sepiolite content, and blending time. The selected formulation had an average particle size of 267.10 nm, a specific surface area of 0.67 m
