Covid-19 effects on municipal solid waste management: What can effectively be done in the Brazilian scenario?
Review in Resources, conservation, and recycling, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers.
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
The Covid-19 pandemic will leave a lasting impact on nearly every aspect of life in society and has also raised concerns on the contamination risks associated with waste management. This study presents a review on the main recommendations related to the management of municipal solid wastes during the pandemic. The recommendations were classified according to the target audience, and their applicability to the Brazilian reality is discussed. Results show that most analyzed recommendations are related to hygiene routines, use of personal protective equipment, and proper segregation, packing and final destination of potentially contaminated wastes. Brazilian organizations show a special concern about the exposure risks of waste pickers, advising for the temporary suspension of manual waste collection and sorting, hygiene protocols, social distancing and quarantine of recyclable materials. Overall, the recommendations are highly dependent on awareness and engagement of citizens and on planning and support of municipalities, which must invest in information campaigns and provide alternatives for the infectious waste produced in households. Furthermore, this study points out that the recommendations were issued in an emergency scenario, but as the pandemic is expected to last for an extended period of time, they must be revised as local contexts change, seeking to maintain and extend citizens engagement in selective collection and even in actions towards waste reduction.
