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

A novel sustainable synthesis strategy for producing a range of structurally distinct zeolites, specifically Zeolite 4A, Zeolite 13X, and Zeolite Y, is presented. This method avoids organic templates (commonly used for many high-silica zeolites such as ZSM-5, Beta, or high-silica Y) and directly produces Zeolite 4A, Zeolite 13X, and Zeolite Y from natural bentonite clay without the need for synthetic silica or alumina sources and thus offers a much more environmentally-benign production strategy than existing commercial synthetic routes. By systematically tuning alkaline fusion conditions and hydrothermal crystallization parameters, selective zeolite phase formation is achieved: lower fusion temperatures and NaOH/clay ratios favor the formation of LTA-type Zeolite 4A, while higher values promote the formation of FAU-type Zeolite 13X and Zeolite Y. The synthesized zeolites demonstrated structural characteristics and adsorption performance comparable to their commercial counterparts. Zeolite 13X exhibited the highest CO
