Spatial variability of surface water quality in a large Brazilian semiarid reservoir and its main tributaries.

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
Brazil has one of the greatest hydroelectric potential in the world with high number of reservoirs for the electricity generation. However, little is known about the influence of these environments on the water quality. The water quality monitoring data from 14 stations distributed throughout the Irapé HPP reservoir (lentic environment), and its main tributaries (lotic environment), between the years 2008 and 2018, were evaluated and compared to assess the spatial variability of water quality. The analyzed parameters included total alkalinity, thermotolerant coliforms, electric conductivity, biochemical oxygen demand, dissolved iron, total phosphorus, nitrate, total ammoniacal nitrogen, dissolved oxygen, pH, total dissolved solids, sulfate, water temperature, and turbidity. Cluster analysis (CA), Kruskal-Wallis (KW) tests, Spearman rank-order correlation, and principal component analysis (PCA) were applied to identify and compare the relationship between the main parameters in the lotic and lentic environments. The CA resulted in four clusters according to proximity and the environment type (lotic or lentic). In general, the water quality showed better conditions in the reservoir and in the lotic stations on the immediate surround. The results may be associated with the greater sedimentation in the lentic environment. The analyses indicated that agricultural activities and the geochemical characteristics of the region are the main responsible for changes in the water quality.
