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

It is anticipated that by 2028 there will be a significant increase in the use of HWHP systems in Great Britain (GB). Such systems are considered a better, energy-efficient alternative to fossil fuel-based burners and furnaces, as they use electricity. There are concerns that these systems are susceptible to microbial contamination because they hold water at lower temperatures. In particular, the concern is regarding
