Systematic Review of the Microbiological Performance of Household Water Treatment Technologies.
Synthesis in Environmental science & technology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Household water treatment (HWT) is a prevalent method for improving the safety of drinking-water. We conducted a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature from 1997 to 2021 on microbiological performance of common HWT technologies including porous ceramic filters, carbon block or membrane filtration, granular media filtration, thermal treatment, solar disinfection, UV irradiation, chemical disinfection, and combined coagulation-disinfectant products. We used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) best practices and searched SCOPUS, Web of Science, PubMed, and Agricola and further consulted an expert working group to add relevant publications reporting microbial performance of HWT (n = 396 peer-reviewed studies).
