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

The improper brine effluent disposal from the reverse osmosis (RO) process of the industry and mining sites poses various environmental problems including impaired soil ability to produce crops, difficulties for breeding and migrating birds. Various treatment methods reported to provide a short-term solution in which separation of the mixed salt byproducts remains a great challenge. The present study aimed at assessing the performance of locally available automatic temperature control (ATC) system to recover brine from RO effluents through salt crystallization. Laboratory trials via batch experiment containing individual and mixed samples of NaCl·2H
