Beyond Surface Area: The Role of Carrier Media Structure on Nitrification Performance and Biomass Activity in MBBR Systems Under High Nitrogen Loads.
Article in Water environment research : a research publication of the Water Environment Federation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study evaluated the effects of increasing nitrogen loading rates and carrier type on nitrification performance and biomass characteristics in moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBRs) operated under autotrophic conditions. Two laboratory-scale reactors (R1 and R2), operated for over 1200 days and filled with distinct carrier media, non-porous Kaldnes K1 and porous Mutag Biochip, were subjected to stepwise nitrogen loading up to 11 g NH
