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

Consumption of drinking water with high nitrate may pose a serious health hazard. This study examined nitrate concentration in the water of dug wells at the Jashore district of Bangladesh. A total of 58 water samples were collected from dug wells which are currently in use for drinking water. Concentrations of nitrate in the water range from 0.05 to 430 mg/l and from 0.24 to 206 mg/l respectively in the wet and dry seasons. About 17% and 14% of the samples during the wet and dry seasons respectively showed nitrate concentration above the WHO guideline value of 50 mg/l. The wells with high nitrate concentration showed health risks for adults and children. About 17% of the samples showed a health hazard index (HQ
