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

Industrial wastewater from export processing zones may comply with regulatory standards while concealing ecological risks not captured by routine monitoring. This study aimed to (1) evaluate effluent quality and regulatory compliance in the Chattogram Export Processing Zone (CEPZ), Bangladesh; (2) develop an integrated risk assessment framework integrating the Effluent Quality Index (EQI), ecotoxicity, metal speciation, and geographic information system (GIS) analysis; and (3) identify high-risk discharge corridors. Treated effluents (n = 6) and drinking water were analyzed for physicochemical parameters, Pb and Cr, acute ecotoxicity using Daphnia magna (EC
