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

Saline wastewaters are usually generated by various industries, including the chemical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and aquacultural industries. The discharge of untreated high-salinity wastewater may cause serious environmental pollution and damage the aquatic, terrestrial, and wetland ecosystems. For many countries, the treatment of saline wastewater has become an important task. Generally, saline wastewaters are treated through physical and chemical methods. However, these traditional techniques are associated with higher treatment costs and the generation of byproducts. In contrast, biotreatment techniques are environmentally friendly and inexpensive. This review highlights the sources and environmental concerns of high-salinity wastewater and illustrates the latest problems and solutions to the use of biological approaches for treating saline wastewater. Although high salinity may inhibit the effectiveness of aerobic and anaerobic biological wastewater treatment methods, such strategies as selecting salt-adapted microorganisms capable of degrading pollutants with tolerance to high salinity and optimizing operating conditions can be effective. This mini-review may serve as a reference for future efforts to treat high-salinity wastewater.
