Decision support tools for water reuse: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Water science and technology : a journal of the International Association on Water Pollution Research, 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
This article provides a comprehensive review of decision support tools for water reuse (DST4WR), focusing on microbiological risk assessment (MRA), life cycle analysis (LCA), life cycle cost (LCC), and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). A systematic review of 35 articles published between 2020 and 2024, plus one from 2019, was conducted. The studies were categorised based on the DST4WR applied, with each tool discussed individually. MRA tools assess public health risks in different case studies. LCA identifies key environmental indicators, and its integration with LCC facilitates comprehensive cost analysis. MCDA, applied in various case studies, uses criteria like environmental, social, economic, technical, public health, and functional aspects. Integrating DST4WR tools identifies synergies and trade-offs between criteria, aiding informed decision-making. Combining MRA, LCA/LCC, and MCDA is especially beneficial, as each tool provides a distinct perspective. Using these tools together offers a holistic view of water reuse management, ensuring that all relevant factors are balanced. This approach enhances decision-making and builds stakeholder confidence and acceptance by transparently addressing public health, environmental, economic, and social concerns.
