Effects of waste materials on Caenorhabditis elegans (Nematoda) using the ISO standard soil toxicity test.

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.
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 ecotoxicological characterization of waste according to the European Waste List (HP14) is part of its hazard classification, which is based on 15 different hazardous properties and should include toxicity tests representing the aquatic and terrestrial compartment. Besides established soil toxicity tests with bacteria, plants, and earthworms, the standardized test with the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (ISO 10872:2010) is suitable for testing soils and wastes, however, has never been validated for the purpose of waste toxicity assessment. Therefore, 23 different waste samples were tested for their toxicity on growth and reproduction of C. elegans to validate the suitability of ISO 10872 (ISO 2010) for assessing the ecotoxicological hazard of waste and to compare the results with those of other ecotoxicological test systems. C. elegans showed a comparable response to the waste samples as the earthworm avoidance test, however, with single samples where the nematodes indicated a higher toxicity than the E. fetida, thus, providing non-redundant information to the ecotoxicological hazard assessment of wastes. Also due to the short duration (4 days) and small-scale test set-up, the soil toxicity test with C. elegans turned out to be a valuable addition to already existing test batteries, for assessing the ecotoxicity of wastes in the soil compartment.
