Exploring the relationship between mobile positioning data and wastewater flows: evidence from five Swiss catchments.

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.
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
Emissions from urban drainage systems can have unwanted consequences for human and environmental health. Unfortunately, traditional water quality monitoring in sewers is expensive and not comprehensive enough to provide detailed data on pollution across an entire catchment. However, with the increasing digitization of society, alternative data sources such as mobile positioning data offer new opportunities to assess wastewater production and dynamics. In this study, we investigate the relation between mobile positioning data and wastewater flows in five catchments in Switzerland with different characteristics and sizes, using data from the largest Swiss telecom provider and simple multiple linear regression models. The initial results of this study are promising although the degree of correlation observed between mobile positioning data and wastewater production is rather low (
