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

Constructed wetlands (CWs) have gained scholarly attention in the last two decades as promising technologies for the attenuation of trace organic contaminants (TrOCs) from municipal wastewater effluent and combined sewer overflow discharge. Using lab-scale vertical flow constructed wetlands, we investigated amending these systems with Fe-EDTA to improve CW degradation of five representative trace organic contaminants. The study combined a 7-month monitoring campaign, 3 different hydraulic regimes, and soil extraction data to elucidate the effects of the amendment on the fate of the TrOCs within the systems. Our results indicate that Fe-EDTA contributed to the degradation of carbamazepine and sulfamethoxazole under the studied flow regimes. Iron-amended soil columns (
