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

The removal of ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite from wastewater is essential for controlling nitrogen pollution. However, the efficiency of biological nitrogen removal is often limited by the scarcity of highly active bacterial strains. In this study, a coculture system, designated YEM003, was constructed using eight nitrogen-metabolizing bacterial strains isolated from the same activated sludge. YEM003 exhibited robust nitrogen removal performance, effectively eliminating ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite from wastewater under varying oxygen conditions. Metagenomic analysis revealed enrichment of key genes involved in nitrogen metabolism and elucidated nitrogen removal pathways of YEM003. Due to the unbalanced abundance distribution of the eight strains in YEM003, the contributions of each strain to the nitrogen removal metabolism in different wastewaters differed significantly. Overall, YEM003 exhibits comprehensive and efficient biological nitrogen removal capabilities and shows strong potential for application in wastewater nitrogen removal processes.
