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

Introduction: Floating Treatment Bed systems (FTBs) provide an effective approach to remove pollutants from the rivers. These systems consist of aquatic plants anchored on mats, which support the growth of microbial communities. Such a synergy between plants and microbes in FTBs plays a pivotal role to improve efficacy of river restoration strategies. Methodology: The effectiveness of the FTBs was evaluated for the rejuvenation of polluted water from the Mini River in Gujarat, India. These systems consisted of wetland plants, either Results and discussion: The bacterial augmented FTBs consisting wet plants achieved reduction of 57%, 70%, 74%, and 80% in biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phosphate, and sulfate, respectively. Moreover, the 16S
