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

Achieving universal access to safely managed sanitation services is one of the Sustainable Development Goal 6 targets (SDG6.2). The cost and availability of services to ensure the safe management of on-site sanitation, such as pit latrines and septic tanks, can be major barriers for poor households. Particularly, fecal sludge emptying services have become increasingly important due to the growing urban population. This review aims to scope the literature on stated and revealed willingness to pay (WTP) for emptying on-site sanitation systems and to identify determinants of WTP and gaps in knowledge. We performed electronic searches of six databases. After deduplication, 1846 records were identified, of which 14 were included in the review. In these studies, we identified 26 distinct scenarios that reported mean or median WTP values for emptying services and their market price (i.e., price at which the services were provided). Among the 26 scenarios, 77% (
