1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 aim of the study was to assess the status of groundwater quality of Owerri and environs, for drinking and irrigation purposes. Twenty-two (22) groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for both chemical and physical compositions. The result of the study showed that groundwater in the area is of good quality for drinking purposes, except for pH and Fe, which had higher concentrations in some areas. A weak correlation matrix within the sampled parameters of the groundwater was observed. Hydrogeochemical studies revealed that 91% of the samples are within the geochemical zone of 4 (strong acids (SO
