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

Haloacetonitriles are drivers of disinfection byproduct (DBP) toxicity with in vitro assays. Regulated trihalomethanes have historically been an indicator of haloacetonitriles; however, differences in precursors, disinfectants used, and network variability reduce the reliability of trihalomethanes as an indicator for toxicity. The spatial-temporal variability in haloacetonitriles and trihalomethanes in rural drinking water systems was analyzed using monthly tap water collected in two systems for two years (
