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 United States (US) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) included strontium (Sr) in the Contaminant Candidate List 3 as a potential chemical for future regulation. Sr occurrence data at US public water systems were gathered under the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 3, and the EPA assessed the potential to improve public health as well as the costs of promulgating a Sr regulation. The EPA delayed issuing a final regulatory determination for Sr to gather more information, including treatment research on removing Sr from drinking water for which there is very limited data, but the health reference level was lowered to 1.5 mg L
