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

Sustainable urban wastewater management requires systems that effectively remove pollutants while enabling resource recovery and diminishing environmental impacts. In high-density cities, conventional centralized treatment plants often entail long conveyance distances, high pumping energy, and substantial methane emissions from widespread communal septic tanks, compounded by stringent effluent standards. Scaled decentralized systems (SDSs)-distributed facilities integrated into existing sewer networks-offer potential advantages through reduced transport and localized recovery, yet their performance across scales, technologies, and recovery strategies remains poorly quantified. Here we show that SDSs featuring 20,000 m
