Strategy to Evaluate Changes in Bacterial Community Profiles and Bacterial Pathogen Load Reduction After Sewage Disinfection.

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
Sewage effluent discharge is a major source of pathogenic contamination to the environment. The disinfection process is critical for the elimination of pathogens in sewage. In this study, we examined the impact of chlorine disinfection on the total, viable, and culturable populations of indicator bacteria, pathogens, and bacterial communities in two contrasting types of effluents (primarily treated saline and secondarily treated freshwater). Effluents collected bimonthly over 1 year were examined using cultivation, quantitative PCR (qPCR), and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing coupled with or without propidium monoazide (PMA) treatment. The results showed that each type of effluent was characterized by a specific set of representative genera before disinfection. Salinity appeared to be the major abiotic factor associated with the differences in bacterial community compositions. The pathogen analysis pipeline revealed over 20 viable clinically important pathogenic species in the effluents. Although the bacterial communities differed markedly between the two types of effluents before disinfection, the species of pathogens persisting after disinfection were similar, many of them were members of
