Occurrence and removal of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes, and bacterial communities in hospital wastewater.

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
Hospital wastewater contains a variety of human antibiotics and pathogens, which makes the treatment of hospital wastewater essential. However, there is a lack of research on these pollutants at hospital wastewater treatment plants. In this study, the characteristics and removal of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the independent treatment processes of hospitals of different scales (primary hospital, H1; secondary hospital, H2; and tertiary hospital, H3) were investigated. The occurrence of antibiotics and ARGs in wastewater from three hospitals varied greatly. The first-generation cephalosporin cefradine was detected at a concentration of 2.38 μg/L in untreated wastewater from H1, while the fourth-generation cephalosporin cefepime had the highest concentration, 540.39 μg/L, at H3. Ofloxacin was detected at a frequency of 100% and had removal efficiencies of 44.2%, 51.5%, and 81.6% at H1, H2, and H3, respectively. The highest relative abundances of the β-lactam resistance gene bla
