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

The presence of emerging contaminants in water bodies poses a significant threat to both environmental and human health. Conventional wastewater treatment approaches often face sustainability challenges. Among various approaches, adsorption is recognized as an effective method for removing emerging pollutants, such as heavy metal ions, radioactive metal ions, antibiotics, phosphate ions, dyes, fertilizers, and pesticides, owing to its high selectivity, minimal secondary pollution, scalability, and operational simplicity. This review article comprehensively discusses the recent advancement in the design of sodium alginate (SA)-based adsorbents for wastewater treatment. Sodium alginate (SA), a natural, linear, and unbranched polysaccharide, has emerged as a promising adsorbent for wastewater treatment due to its excellent properties, including abundant functional groups (hydroxyl and carboxylic groups), high hydration, degradability, outstanding biocompatibility, and customizable physicochemical characteristics. The incorporation of SA into carbon-based materials (
