Ecological Risks of Antibiotics in Urban Wetlands on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Although the ecological risks of antibiotics have been extensively researched globally, fewer studies have been conducted in sensitive and fragile plateau wetland ecosystems. To evaluate the ecological risk of antibiotics in plateau urban wetlands, 18 water samples, 10 plant samples, and 8 sediment samples were collected in March 2022 in the Xining urban wetlands on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry method was utilized to measure the concentrations of 15 antibiotics in three categories in three types of environmental media. Risk quotients were adopted to assess the ecological risk of antibiotics, and the principal component analysis-multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the source of antibiotics. The results showed that (1) the maximum concentrations of antibiotics in water samples, plants, and sediments reached 1220.86 ng/L, 78.30 ng/g, and 5.64 ng/g, respectively; (2) Tylosin (TYL), norfloxacin (NFX), ofloxacin (OFX), and ciprofloxacin (CFX) in water were at medium and high-risk levels, and OFX had the highest risk value, of 108.04; and (3) the results of source apportionment indicate that 58.94% of the antibiotics came from the Huangshui river and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) near the wetlands. The current study may provide a reference for the risks and management of antibiotics in plateau urban wetlands.
