Low-Cost Antibacterial Ceramic Water Filters for Decentralized Water Treatment: Advances and Practical Applications.
Review in ACS omega, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Access to clean water remains challenging for people living in underdeveloped regions, rural areas, and remote locations. In the absence of centralized water treatment systems, point-of-use (POU) solutions are necessary. Ceramic water filters (CWFs) have emerged as a practical and affordable option for decentralized water treatment. This review focuses on recent advances in antibacterial CWFs, including preparation methods, filtration performance, and applications. The review highlights the significance of preparation techniques, material choices, and additives in determining CWF properties and performance. Despite virus and chemical contaminant removal limitations, ongoing research on nanofillers and antibacterial additives shows promise for enhancing the CWF performance. The cost-effectiveness, ease of production, and low operational requirements of CWF make it a viable solution for decentralized drinking water systems, particularly in resource-limited areas. Studies have demonstrated the efficacy of CWFs in reducing water contaminants, but proper maintenance and user training are crucial to optimal performance.
