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

Increasing water demands and high water losses have rendered securing safe water challenging in the 21st century. Although non-revenue water (NRW), as a percentage of system input, has been commonly used by water utilities worldwide, in-depth analyses on the influence of water consumption fluctuation on NRW has never been conducted; instead, taking one-year average NRW volume has been recommended. Thus, this study analyzed the influence of water consumption fluctuation on NRW using the data of five district metered areas (DMAs) in Colombo City, Sri Lanka, and also by the network simulation analysis. The results showed that percentage and volumetric NRWs are strongly correlated with water consumption (
