Effect of micro-aeration stirring on nitrogen removal in anammox reactor.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
Bottom micro-aeration was adopted for the Anammox reactor with the aim of enhancing the mass transfer and reducing the chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the reactor, thereby improving the nitrogen removal performance of the Anammox reactor. Under the condition of hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 17.1 h, the removal efficiencies of COD and nitrogen-containing pollutants in the Anammox reactor were investigated at 1.5 L/h, 12 L/h, and 45 L/h aeration rates respectively. The differences of microbial communities under aeration rates of 12 L/h and 45 L/h were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that COD removal efficiency was 63.4%, total nitrogen (TN) removal efficiency, nitrogen removal contribution from Anammox, and specific anaerobic ammonia oxidation activity (SAA) were 72.9%, 92.4%, and 0.25 ± 0.012 g-N/g-VSS/d respectively. These results indicate that a proper aeration rate can enhance the removal of both carbon and nitrogen in the reactor. Furthermore, at an aeration rate of 12 L/h, the abundance of Planctomycetes, a phylum containing anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (AnAOB), reached 11.21%, and the abundance of the genus Candidatus Brocadia was 8.99%, both of which were higher than the values of 1.24% and 0.73% at an aeration rate of 45 L/h, respectively. This indicates that excessive aeration can inhibit the activity of AnAOB and reduce the nitrogen removal ability of the Anammox reaction. This study illustrates the impact of varying aeration rates on the carbon removal and nitrogen removal performance of an Anammox reactor, providing references for the practical engineering application of aeration in Anammox reactors.
