Social benefits of improving water infrastructure in South Korea: upgrading sewage treatment plants.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A sewage treatment plant is considered an undesirable facility because of public concerns about odor, hygiene, and lowered house prices in the neighborhood. In South Korea, many aging sewage treatment plants need to be upgraded because they show inadequate performance on the removal of major pollutants. However, issues involved in such upgrades include social conflicts between the local government and residents, and economic feasibility. Examinations of social acceptability that include economic analyses are needed in order to fulfill social demand for upgrading the sewage treatment plants while simultaneously guaranteeing efficiency and minimizing social costs. This study investigates the social benefits of expanding and modernizing sewage treatment plants in South Korea using the contingent valuation method. Results show that Korean households, on average, are willing to pay 36,340 KRW (33.25 USD) per year for upgrading sewage treatment plants. About 47.73% of the project costs can be covered by the social benefits the Korean households enjoy. This study suggests that the Korean government needs to consider estimated social benefits in determining the scale and timeline of upgrade projects. The results of this study may help with stable implementation of upgrade projects for sewage treatment plants.
