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

Boron-doped diamond electrodes can be used to generate reactive oxygen species directly at the electrode's surface. This property was used in this study for in-situ electrochemical oxidation to eliminate different bacteria, i.e. Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as Bacillus subtilis spores from water samples. Application of low voltages in the rage from 4 to 10 V and short incubation times in the range of minutes allowed a complete disinfection of water contaminated with enterobacteria and freshwater microbes including nosocomial pathogens as well as a significant reduction of spores. A pilot reactor was constructed, which allowed to decrease microbial contamination of sewage plant effluent drastically. Boron-doped diamond electrodes allow efficient reduction of bacterial contaminations in water samples.
