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

F + coliphages are considered as potential enteric viral indicators in water systems as a tool for on-site validation of wastewater treatment processes. The present study evaluated the occurrence of F + coliphages in wastewaters collected from three wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Mumbai city, to assess this potential. The detection and enumeration of F + coliphages was carried out from WWTPs Z1, Z3 and Z5 using the ISO 10705-1 and U.S EPA 1601 methods. F + coliphages were majorly detected in untreated wastewater samples followed by a few secondary treated samples in WWTP-Z1 and Z3 and one tertiary treated sample from Z1, these differences were found to be statistically significant. The difference in F + coliphage levels between the treatment stages highlight their potential as indicators for monitoring the efficiency of wastewater treatment. The overall positivity of F + coliphage was 35.09% for Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12088-023-01181-7.
