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

Nitrifying sludge is capable of simultaneous removal of high-concentration ammonia nitrogen and sulfamethoxazole (SMX). Quorum sensing mediated by acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) has emerged as a potential regulatory tool to modulate microbial community function and stress resistance. However, the effects of AHLs on nitrifying sludge under SMX stress remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether AHLs can facilitate the acclimation of nitrifying sludge under SMX exposure. Sequencing batch reactor experiment results demonstrated that under the shock loading of 500 μg/L SMX, the addition of 2 μM C6-HSL maintained significantly higher NH
