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

Orthophosphate is a common corrosion inhibitor used to control lead release in drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs). It may enhance monochloramine decay and promote biofilm growth. This study assessed the impact of two monochloramine dosages on biofilm growth and monochloramine decay in model distribution systems (MDSs), with/without orthophosphate, at a 10-day residence time. Four bench-scale MDSs were run for 15 weeks: two tested a low monochloramine dose (2 mg Cl
