Chloramine Concentrations within Distribution Systems and Their Effect on Heterotrophic Bacteria, Mycobacterial Species, and Disinfection Byproducts.
Article in Water research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Chloramine is a secondary disinfectant used to maintain microbial control throughout public water distribution systems. This study investigated the relationship between chloramine concentration, heterotrophic bacteria, and specific Mycobacterium species. Sixty-four water samples were collected at four locations within the utility's distribution network on four occasions. Water samples were analyzed for total chlorine and monochloramine. Traditional culture methods were applied for heterotrophic bacteria and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), and specific quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays were used to detect and quantify Mycobacterium avium, M. intracellulare, and M. abscessus. Total chlorine and monochloramine concentrations decreased between the distribution entry point (4.7 mg/L and 3.4 mg/L as Cl
