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

In 2022, an estimated 1.7 billion people globally lacked access to safe drinking water, with more than 100 million still relying on untreated surface water. Contamination of water with fecal bacteria can cause a variety of diseases. Many methods have been proposed and used to remove bacteria from drinking water. However, many of these methods still are not broadly used in remote areas, as they can be inefficient, require chemicals, or use complicated operational procedures. This study conducts an initial investigation of the potential of polyurethane foams for water disinfection. Specifically, we compared polyester polyurethane (PESPU) and polyether polyurethane (PU) foams with similar morphologies for
