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
This study aimed to evaluate the hydrodynamic behavior of a vertical subsurface flow constructed wetland (VSSF-CW) treating domestic sewage by applying a saline tracer, comparing system performance in operational Years 3 (NR-3) and 5 (NR-5), and assessing the influence of a rainfall event (R-5). Electrical conductivity monitoring was used to construct residence time distribution (RTD) curves for all tests, enabling detailed characterization of hydraulic behavior. As a result, the system exhibited highly dispersed flow (d > 1.21; N < 2.07) with a tendency toward continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) behavior. A comparison between NR-3 and NR-5 tests revealed significant differences (p < 0.05, t test) in the hydrodynamic parameters. The rainfall event (R-5) had a statistically significant effect (p < 0.05, t test), decreasing hydraulic retention time, increasing dilution, and enhancing dispersive flow within the treatment unit. These findings highlight the importance of long-term hydrodynamic monitoring in VSSF-CW systems and demonstrate how operational conditions and external factors such as rainfall can influence treatment performance.
