Estimation of COVID-19 generated medical waste in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Article in The Science of the total environment, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is not only a great matter of concern from a medical and health perspective, but it is a serious threat to the environment in terms of waste generated during the prevention and cure of COVID-19. The world has so far compromised more than 3 million human lives, and millions are being infected. Environmental threat is most serious because it can cause secondary complications. As per our knowledge, the amount of waste generated during the pandemic and its estimated quantity has not been assessed, thereby keeping the scientific community, Government authorities and public ignorant of its adverse effects. In this context, we have evaluated the waste generated by the Kingdom of Bahrain, estimated to be 35.480 kg/day (face masks), 1894 kg/day (PPEs) by the selected health facilities, 16,633.505 kg (vaccination-related) and 53,551.240 kg (related to tests conducted so far) in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
