Wastewater Management under Global Climate Change Conditions.
Review in ACS environmental Au, 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
Urban wastewater systems were historically designed under assumptions of climatic stationarity; however, climate change is rapidly altering the boundary conditions under which they operate. In this Perspective, we synthesize emerging evidence to conceptualize wastewater systems as climate-responsive infrastructure embedded within dynamic environmental feedbacks. We propose an input-output boundary framework to characterize climate change-driven alterations in wastewater systems. On the input side, climate change affects wastewater systems through three primary pathways: increased flow variability, shifts in physicochemical characteristics of wastewater, and changes in the contaminant spectrum. On the output side, increased risks of untreated discharge or improperly treated effluents and amplified greenhouse gas emissions intensify the environmental footprint of wastewater systems. Collectively, these nonstationary pressures undermine the reliability and effectiveness of key wastewater components, such as wastewater collection networks, biological processes, and advanced treatment units, thereby challenging conventional design and operation. Finally, we highlight four key opportunities of climate-resilient wastewater management, including predictive modeling and adaptive operational strategies enabled by digitalization, resilient infrastructure and process design, decentralized treatment with resource recovery, and nature-based solutions. Reframing wastewater systems as adaptive, low-emission, and circular infrastructures is essential to sustain urban water security under accelerating climate change.
