DGT-Based Assessment of Antibiotics and Hormones in a Typical Wastewater Treatment Plant and Its Receiving Water in Shanghai: Implications for Aquaculture Reuse.
Article in Toxics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Assessment of the environmental behavior of environmental hormones and antibiotics along the processes in typical wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) based on bioavailable concentrations reflects the negative effects of pollutants from WWTPs on aquatic organisms more directly, as well as the potential for reusing the effluent and receiving waters for aquaculture. This study measured bioavailable concentrations in a typical WWTP and its receiving water body using the XAD-DGT samplers during dry and wet seasons. Firstly, the results confirmed the applicability of XAD-DGT in WWTP and the receiving water. Then, significant season and process-dependent variations were observed. The primary treatment occasionally led to concentration rebound due to desorption during the dry season, secondary treatment exhibited considerable variability depending on the physicochemical properties of the contaminants, and tertiary treatment consistently performed well (>80%). Based on XAD-DGT-measured bioavailable concentrations, the risks posed by environmental hormones and antibiotics in the effluent and receiving water body were determined to assess their potential for aquaculture reuse. The result indicated that the effluent water is applicable for fish aquaculture; however, further removal techniques, like adsorption or advanced oxidation, should be applied to crustacean cultivation, especially for contaminants like environmental hormones. For the water body, it was only feasible for crustacean aquaculture. Pre-treatments based on adsorption, sedimentation, or oxidation processes are necessary to remove environmental hormones and antibiotics if these areas are planned for aquaculture. This study provides an important scientific basis for a more accurate assessment of the environmental behavior of emerging contaminants, reuse directions of WWTP effluent, as well as the corresponding receiving waters.
