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

Wastewater pollution is a pressing global environmental issue, which is intensified by urbanization and agricultural expansion. Rapid urbanization has resulted in increased municipal wastewater generation, necessitating the development of sustainable and effective treatment methods. The current study examines vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) as a phytoremediation method for municipal wastewater treatment, focusing on its ability to remove biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). Three vetiver plant densities (20, 40, and 60 plants/m
