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
The domestic wastewater collection and treatment rate of Nairobi, Kenya are not high. The wastewater in the Kibera slum on the outskirts of the city that is directly discharged to the environment and pollution of the surrounding water body is a serious problem. This paper takes the domestic wastewater in the slum area as the research objective and researches on the wastewater characteristics, collection, and treatment, therefore providing the reference for the wastewater collection and treatment technology in the region. In this paper, domestic wastewater in the Kibera slum of Nairobi was sampled and investigated to find out the characteristics of wastewater discharged, the way of discharge of the household wastewater, and the management in this area. The study shows that there are differences in the concentration of main pollutants such as nutrients and organic matter in the wastewater from the household discharged to the residential river in the slum area. The domestic wastewater in this slum area contained a high concentration of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus and other organics, total suspended solids (TSS), total coliforms and color, and with no treatment methods. Therefore, economic and feasible treatment technology needs to be developed. A pilot study was conducted on the treatment of domestic wastewater in the slum area by combining the seed extract of the natural plant Moringa oleifera as a coagulant and vertical flow constructed wetland (VFCW) at Tongji University, Shanghai, China. The VFCW system was efficient in chemical oxygen demand (COD), TSS, turbidity, total phosphorus (TP), and phosphates (PO
