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

Although constructed wetlands (CWs) are widely used around the world with various substrates, the mechanisms of how these modified substrates affect wastewater treatment are still unknown. In this study, CW microcosms were established with and without ceramsite as a substrate, and the wastewater treatment efficiencies were evaluated during 71 days of incubation. Using the 16S rRNA high-through sequencing, the mechanisms of how CW substrate changed the microbial community was quantified. The results showed that compared to soil as substrate, the use of ceramsite as substrate material enhanced the removal of pollutants from CW systems, particularly under a short retention time (1.5-day) condition. There were more beneficial microorganism groups (nitrogen, sulfur, phosphate) in the ceramsite CW system than the non-ceramsite CW system, particularly in the bottom layers. Moreover, the CW with ceramsite substrate had more nitrification function. All of these results suggested that the ceramsite CW system enhanced the removal of pollutants because it increased the concentration of key microbes that are necessarily for nutrient cycles.
