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

This research deepens the analysis of the mineral water footprint, especially that of gold, in regions that are understudied and where mining has been an intensified extractive activity since the colonial era, as is the case in the northern part of department of Cauca in Colombia. Thus, the purpose was to estimate the water footprint indicators in gold mining in Suárez (Cauca, Colombia), to quantify the impacts generated by the non-returned water in the production process and the levels of pollutants in the wastewater, aimed to strength public policies, control strategies and mitigation that generates reductions in the impacts from mining activities on the environment. The blue water footprint was estimated in 79.91 m
