Effect of Antibiotics on the Microbial Efficiency of Anaerobic Digestion of Wastewater: A Review.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Recycling waste into new materials and energy is becoming a major challenge in the context of the future circular economy, calling for advanced methods of waste treatment. For instance, microbially-mediated anaerobic digestion is widely used for conversion of sewage sludge into biomethane, fertilizers and other products, yet the efficiency of microbial digestion is limited by the occurrence of antibiotics in sludges, originating from drug consumption for human and animal health. Here we present antibiotic levels in Chinese wastewater, then we review the effects of antibiotics on hydrolysis, acidogenesis and methanogenesis, with focus on macrolides, tetracyclines, β-lactams and antibiotic mixtures. We detail effects of antibiotics on fermentative bacteria and methanogenic archaea. Most results display adverse effects of antibiotics on anaerobic digestion, yet some antibiotics promote hydrolysis, acidogenesis and methanogenesis.
