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

Pig farming generates high-strength piggery wastewater (PWW) with extreme organic and nutrient concentrations. This research evaluated an integrated treatment system combining Vertical Flow Constructed Wetlands (VFCW), Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC), and Microalgae Photobioreactors (PBR) to enhance resource recovery, evaluate bio-electrochemical activity, and produce microalgal biomass. Findings showed that hydraulic saturation in the VFCW-MFC stage enhanced the open-circuit voltage response, reaching a maximum of 539 mV, indicative of bio-electrochemical activity. The optimized VFCW-MFC configuration, featuring pulsed feeding, achieved removals of total suspended solids (TSS, 83%) and chemical oxygen demand (COD, 69%). This integrated pretreatment mitigated ammonia toxicity and turbidity, enabling the subsequent cultivation of
