'Primary' antibiotics in wastewater treatment plants.
Review in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
There are anywhere from 5 to 8 priority antibiotics in typical wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) whose concentrations exceed the maximum allowed, out of 12 priority antibiotics designated by the World Health Organization as the species to pose severe health hazard than others. If the priority antibiotics to deal with could be reduced to just one or two, such reduction would greatly simplify the construction and operation of the treatment plants. Introduced here is a concept of 'primary' antibiotic, the abatement of which ensures mitigation of all the other priority antibiotics in the wastewater. A criterion for determining primary antibiotic is developed. For a demonstration of the approach, the wastewater systems treated with solar-based photocatalysts are considered. The criterion reveals that the primary antibiotic in the typical European WWTP as well as in the typical municipal and hospital wastewater is ciprofloxacin, whereas the typical industrial wastewater contains ciprofloxacin and oxytetracycline.
