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

While numerous studies report methane emissions from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in developed countries, few address emissions from plants in developing countries, where outdated technologies, such as the lack of enhanced primary and sludge treatment, are common. Moreover, these studies often rely on indirect calculations rather than direct measurements. Our study fills this gap by providing unit-process-level direct measurements of methane emissions in a conventional WWTP in Mexico, serving as a case study for developing countries. A standard plant was selected and visited on five occasions. It includes a primary settler, an aerated reactor, and a secondary settler, with no sludge treatment in place. Our findings revealed a CH
