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 objective of the present study was to develop a combined system composed of anaerobic biofilter (AF) and floating treatment wetlands (FTW) coupled with microbial fuel cells (MFC) in the buoyant support for treating wastewater from a university campus and generate bioelectricity. The raw wastewater was pumped to a 1450 L tank, operated in batch flow and filled with plastic conduits. The second treatment stage was composed of a 1000 L FTW box with a 200 L plastic drum inside (acting as settler in the entrance) and vegetated with mixed ornamental plants species floating in a polyurethane support fed once a week with 700 L of wastewater. In the plant roots, graphite rods were placed to act as cathodes, while on the bottom of the box 40 graphite sticks inside a plastic hose with a stainless-steel cable acting as the anode chamber. Open circuit voltages were daily measured for 6 weeks, and later as closed circuit with the connection of 1000 Ω resistors. Plant harvestings were conducted, in which biomass production and plant uptake from each of the species were measured. On average, system was efficient in reducing BOD
