Investigation of Chloramines, Disinfection Byproducts, and Nitrification in Chloraminated Drinking Water Distribution Systems.
Article in Journal of environmental engineering (New York, N.Y.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Four chloraminated drinking water distribution systems (CDWDSs) required to maintain numeric versus "detectable" residuals were spatially and temporally sampled for water quality and associated trihalomethane (THM) and haloacetic acid (HAA) formation. Monochloramine decreased from entry point (EP) to maximum residence time (MRT) samples while THMs and HAAs initially increased and then stabilized or slightly decreased. Subsequently, EP and MRT samples were used in laboratory-held studies to further evaluate disinfectant residual stability, chloramine speciation, and nitrification occurrence. MRT water exhibited a faster monochloramine concentration decline compared to EP water, indicating a decreasing disinfectant residual stability from increasing water age through distribution. Using a simple technique based on published inorganic chloramine chemistry, samples were also investigated for nondisinfectant positive interference (NDPI) on total chlorine measurements. NDPI concentrations represented up to 100% of the total chlorine concentration when total chlorine concentrations decreased to 0.05 mg-Cl
