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

Classification of the environmental status resulting from waste littering has significant importance in evaluating the efficiency of the cleaning system and also in identifying the most polluted areas and priority for pollution control programs. In recent decades, various indexes have been developed for this purpose, of which the Clean Environment Index is one of the most widely used in recent years. The aim of this study was to improve this index for a more accurate assessment of the environment pollution. For this purpose, 25 locations in Tehran metropolis were evaluated in terms of the density of discarded waste in different land-uses. By changes in the classification of the status and its increase from five to eleven categories, the Clean Environment Index was improved and used. The results showed that the average density of litter in the studied locations was 0.198 items/m
