Assessment of water quality and microbial contamination in institutional water resources: a necessity to understand health risks.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Lack of regular monitoring of water sources may lead to undetected contamination, posing serious health risks and necessitating regular water quality assessments. Sampling for physicochemical, microbial analyses, and online surveys across three higher education institutions was done to evaluate water quality. Spatiotemporal variations among physicochemical parameters showed that the pH, EC, and TDS decreased during the wet season, reflecting the dilution effect of rain. However, DO increased from 0.67 to 4.83 ppm, indicating better aeration. PCA showed seasonal variability, whereas the correlation matrix highlighted both positive and negative interrelationships between temperature-pH (- 0.25), DO-ORP (0.11), and TDS-EC (1.00). Potentially toxic metals were either negligible or not detected. Metagenomics revealed the presence of 29 bacterial phyla, 61 classes, 124 orders, 241 families, and 457 genera. Canonical correspondence analysis showed the influence of Mo, EC, salinity, and TDS on Bacteroidota, Chloroflexota, Cyanobacteriota, and Planctomycetota, whereas Verrucomicrobiota, Acidobacteriota, Chlamydiota, Candidatus Melainabacteria, Bdellovibrionota, and Deinococcota were affected by Ni, pH, and COD. Pathogen mapping revealed the presence of Vibrio, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter spp., etc., responsible for diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, and typhoid. Also, occupants' perception about the water quality emphasizes the need for better management of drinking water in HEIs.
