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
Understanding the relative influence of immigration and species sorting in wastewater treatment systems is essential, as bacteria in influent wastewater can significantly impact treatment system functionality. This study investigated the contribution of immigration to the community assembly of different-sized microbial aggregates in a full-scale aerobic granular sludge (AGS) system using genome-resolved metatranscriptomics. Our novel analysis revealed that negative-net-growth-rate populations, which persist due to immigration, can exhibit substantial activity and potentially contribute to the AGS system's functionality. The results also highlighted that sulfate-reducing and fermenting bacteria, along with some nitrifiers and glycogen-accumulating organisms (GAOs), were more active in the influent wastewater, serving as a continuous source of both beneficial and competing immigrants to the AGS system. Granular sludge (size >0.2 mm) demonstrated a robust capacity to resist immigration effects from competing immigrants, whereas flocculent sludge (size <0.2 mm) was more susceptible. Importantly, flocculent sludge harbored functional microbial groups such as active nitrifiers and fermentative polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) belonging to
