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

Effluents from a small-scale free-surface flow constructed wetland, used for polishing of secondary treated wastewater, contained significantly higher concentrations of potentially viable Giardia duodenalis cysts and Enterocytozoon bieneusi spores than did wetland influents consisting of secondary treated wastewater. Zoonotic Assemblage A of G. duodenalis cysts was identified in wetland inflows, while Assemblage A and two nonhuman infective Assemblages (i.e., C, and E) were present in wetland effluents. E. bieneusi spores represented genotype K based on DNA sequencing analysis of internal transcribed spacer. The study demonstrated that: (1) free-surface flow small-scale constructed wetlands may not provide sufficient remediation for human zoonotic protozoa and fungi present in secondary treated wastewater; (2) dogs and livestock can substantially contribute human-pathogenic protozoan and fungal microorganisms to engineered vegetated wetland systems; and (3) large volumes of wetland effluents can contribute to contamination of surface waters used for recreation and drinking water abstraction and therefore represent a serious public health threat.
