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

Test protocols have been developed to test water treatment devices/systems for use for treating drinking water that are used at the individual and home level to ensure the removal of waterborne viruses. Current test procedures call for the use of poliovirus type 1 and/or rotavirus SA11. Recently we suggested that selected coliphages could be used as surrogates for poliovirus for testing of point-of-use (POU) water treatment devices, however, rotavirus was not used in those studies. The purpose of this review was to compare studies of POU devices which were tested with poliovirus type 1, simian rotavirus SA11 and coliphage MS2 to determine if the behavior of rotavirus SA11 was significantly different. In addition, an attempt was made to compare the relative resistance of these viruses by various disinfectants used to treat drinking water. In all cases SA11 was removed to an equal or greater degree than poliovirus. SA11 was found to be less resistant to halogens, although one study found it to be more resistance to chloramines than poliovirus and MS2. Based on this review, use of coliphages for testing POU devices appear justified. Additionally, data on chloramines for these viruses would be useful to determine if rotavirus is more resistant than poliovirus and MS2.
