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

Gasification residues/chars (GR) and activated carbon (AC) are added to wastewater treatment processes mainly as a fourth purification stage, e.g., to adsorb heavy metals or pharmaceutical residues. However, the effects of GR or AC, which are transferred to the anaerobic digestion (AD) via the sludge, are not yet fully understood. Although, the positive effect of char addition on AD has been demonstrated in several investigations, systematic studies with chemically well described chars are still missing. Therefore, in this study, different chars were characterized in detail, subjected to AD in different concentrations, and their effect on methane production investigated.
