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

Anthropogenic stress associated with urban development can change groundwater hydrology and introduce contaminants that may compromise its utility. Green Stormwater infrastructure (GSI) alters local landscapes and uses natural flora to manage stormwater and mitigate flooding, but it may also influence groundwater hydrology, and contaminant fate and transport. This multidisciplinary project engaged with community groups to develop and implement a low-cost, citizen-led groundwater monitoring program at the GSI sociotechnical interface in Detroit, MI (USA). GSI installations were constructed at a historic property in urban Detroit, MI. Groundwater monitoring wells were installed throughout the property and at a nearby community-maintained, long-term reference GSI for comparison. From April to October 2021, groundwater and contaminant levels in wells and adjacent soil were assessed using affordable products that citizen science groups could easily employ. Implementing this monitoring program, we identified the significant role GSI plays in increasing groundwater recharge, nutrient and coliform levels. Data collected show slight increases in hydraulic head, especially near GSI, after installation, enhancing groundwater recharge. Before and after MODLOW models of the site show that the GSI also impacted local groundwater flow. Soil nitrite was higher, and
