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

1,4-Dioxane is an emerging contaminant in drinking-water sources and contaminated sites. Microbial removal of 1,4-dioxane has attracted a lot of attention, but faces a challenge: being not able to continuously metabolize 1,4-dioxane to below most drinking-water and groundwater guidelines. The 1,4-dioxane concentrations in most drinking-water sources and contaminated sites are too low to sustain biomass growth. This minireview discusses strategies that may potentially address the challenge. The strategies include: 1) finding oligotrophs for which the minimum 1,4-dioxane concentrations to sustain biomass are low, 2) determining conditions that maximize 1,4-dioxane co-metabolism or co-oxidation, 3) creating novel materials as biomass carriers and contaminant concentrators, and 4) lowering the life-cycle costs of technologies that combine biodegradation with (electro)chemical oxidation or phytoremediation.
