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

Waterborne pathogens from human fecal material pose significant health risks in karst environments, where water can easily infiltrate springs, rivers, and streams via old, leaky septic tanks and damaged sewer lines. We collected 24 samples over three summers and one winter to monitor fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) and potential waterborne pathogens in Sequiota Spring using Microbial Source Tracking (MST) and Illumina paired-end sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplicons. MST indicated a significant reduction (46 times) in human fecal indicator bacteria (HFIB), particularly
