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
Pre-oxidation in water treatment is considered an effective method to enhance the removal of algal cells and their exuded organic matters. However, pre-oxidation also alters the characteristics of algae and consequently influences disinfection processes. The existing studies mainly focused on the stationary growth phase, but little is known for the exponential and declined phases. The objectives of this study were to examine the effects of pre-ozonation on the integrity of algal cells, the release of algal organic matters, and the formation of disinfection by-products like N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) from Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) at three growth phases. The results demonstrated that pre-ozonation was efficient to inactivate M. aeruginosa cells. The severity of M. aeruginosa cell damage increased as the ozone dosage increased from 0.5 to 2.0 mg/L. The damage of cell membranes resulted in the release of intracellular organic matters. Excitation-emission matrix spectra (EEMS) analysis indicated that ozone mainly reacted with soluble microbial products (SMP). With the increase of ozone concentration, although the trend of NDMA formation was similar for all three growth phases, more production of NDMA by algal cells was observed at the declined phase. In the post-disinfection process, chloramine showed the potential as a more suitable disinfectant than chlorination after pre-ozonation to minimize the NDMA formation. Therefore, appropriate pre-ozonation is beneficial to reduce the NDMA formation from exponential algae, while has no significant change during both stationary and declined phases.
