Use of graphical and multivariate statistical methods to show a marine intrusion and salinization of a coastal water table: case study of the township of Abomey-Calavi, Benin.
Article in Heliyon, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A robust classification scheme for partitioning water chemistry samples into homogeneous groups is an important tool for the characterization of hydrologic systems. In this paper we test the performance of the many available graphical and statistical methodologies used to classify water samples including: Piper diagram and diagram of Schoeller and Berckaloff. All the methods are discussed and compared as to their ability to cluster, ease of use, and ease of interpretation. The combination of graphical and statistical techniques provides a consistent and objective means to show that groundwater in the district of Godomey in the municipality of Abomey-Calavi is contaminated by sea water. This study reveal Togbin to be the area of intrusion of seawater into groundwater. This study has helped in setting the boundaries where seawater intrusion into groundwater occurs in the township of Abomey-Calavi. These results confirm the findings of Boukari et al., in 1996, who detected an early saline intrusion in this Godomey pumping area.
