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

As energy, environmental, supply chain, and economic risks escalate in today's linear fertilizer manufacturing processes, there has been growing interest in developing technologies that enable a circular nitrogen-based fertilizer economy. Achieving this goal requires significant advancements in wastewater treatment, with a specific focus on the design of technologies and complete systems that can capture and recycle waste nutrients into usable fertilizers. Every year, millions of tons of nitrogen and phosphorus remain untapped in global municipal and industrial wastewater, presenting a significant opportunity for fertilizer utilization. Herein, we explore current and future opportunities for nutrient recovery systems to provide recycled fertilizers for agricultural use. We first quantify recoverable nutrient wastewater sources, examine current nutrient management processes (e.g., nitrification-denitrification, EBPR), and highlight the performance and limitations of current nutrient management processes. We also review the current commercialization landscape for nutrient recovery systems and detail efforts made in advancing full-scale deployments. Finally, we review emerging electrified technologies and compare nutrient recovery technologies in terms of technology readiness, scalability, optimal feedstock, and environmental trade-offs, pairing them with optimal wastewater feed streams. A gap analysis is also conducted to guide future research and development efforts in nutrient recovery.
