Effects of a low-strength magnetic field on the characteristics of activated sludge for membrane fouling mitigation.
Article in RSC advances, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
This study aims to investigate the performance of a low-strength magnetic field in membrane bioreactors (MBRs) for membrane fouling mitigation and its effects on sludge characteristics and microbial community. The continuous operation of MBR with magnetic powder (MP-MBR) is denoted as the control-MBR, and a magnetic field is added to the MP-MBR to form the magnetic-MBR (M-MBR). The comparison between MP-MBR and M-MBR was conducted to treat synthetic wastewater. The results showed that the application of a low-strength magnetic field not only decreased the zeta potential and increased the particle size, but also improved the dehydrogenase activity and stimulated microbes to produce fewer SMPs, which markedly contributed to the improved filtration performance of MBRs. The variations in the microbial communities from the two MBRs at genus levels confirmed that the addition of a low-strength magnetic field significantly affected the microbial community and composition, further altered the microbial metabolites, and consequently affected the membrane fouling evolution.
