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

To address the problems of short-circuit flow and dead zones, complicated operation and control caused by intermittent influent, and the mismatch between aeration rate and oxygen demand in the Cyclic Activated Sludge System (CASS), a novel Multi-Compartment Fixed-Biofilm Cyclic Activated Sludge System (MCFCASS) was developed. This system operated in continuous-flow mode, and the aeration rate of each compartment was redistributed using a mathematical model. The results show that the plug flow ratio of the MCFCASS reactor increased from 18.75% to 31.25% compared with the CASS reactor. After aeration rate redistribution, the average total nitrogen (TN) removal efficiency of the MCFCASS reactor rose from 83.34% to 86.80%, and the effluent TN concentration consistently met the Grade I-A limit (15 mg/L) specified in the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002). The average removal efficiencies of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonium nitrogen (NH
