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

Electronic waste (e-waste) contains a variety of electronic components e.g., metals, non-metals, plastics, cables, etc. The excessive generation of e-waste has become a significant concern in the last few decades. The current global e-waste generation is 57.4 million metric tons (MMT) per year. Asia produces the highest amount of e-waste (24.9 MMT) followed by America, Europe, Africa, and Oceania. In Bangladesh, e-waste produces from two sources: its own consumption of electronic devices, which is 0.6 MMT, and imported e-waste from ship breaking yards that is 2.5 MMT in 2021. However, inadequate information on the current state of e-waste generation and management systems in Bangladesh has created a void to establish the future direction for proper handling of e-waste. In this work, the Bangladesh perspective of e-waste has been analyzed. The environmental, health economical forfeiture of e-waste has been discussed. The development of government legislations regarding e-waste have been stated. The establishment of e-waste management has been designed by the life cycle assessment (LCA) and material flow analysis (MFA) models. Moreover, a holistic approach for understanding the possible hazards, the economic feasibility of e-waste processing and viable management models for e-waste in Bangladesh was endeavored in this work to propose systematic future directions and recommendations to improve the current e-waste scenario of Bangladesh.
