Water Quality Index: Physicochemical and Microbiological Risk Assessment of Drinking Water in Maya City, Eastern Ethiopia.
Article in Environmental health insights, 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
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate drinking water quality across different sources and seasons and to develop Water Quality Index (WQI) based on selected physicochemical and microbial parameters in Maya City Administration, Ethiopia. Methods: Drinking water samples (n=120) were analyzed for microbial and physicochemical analysis. Safety indicator bacteria were detected and counted using petrifilm, while the physicochemical parameters were determined using standard procedures. The WQI was computed following Brown's weighted arithmetic approach. Results: Nearly 31% of the samples exceeded the Ethiopian standard limit (0/100 mL) set for total coliform, 23% for coliform, and 15% for Conclusion: Despite the overall WQI shows suitability for drinking, the high occurrence of
