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

Rivers play a vital role in sustaining ecosystems and human livelihoods, yet increasing anthropogenic activities threaten their ecological integrity. This study assessed seasonal variations and relationships among key water quality parameters, including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), and dissolved oxygen (DO) in the Kirtonkhola River, Bangladesh, to evaluate seasonal water-quality patterns in relation to passenger vessel activities and associated waste discharge. Monthly samples were collected from two sites with contrasting vessel activity between March 2018 and February 2019. Results showed clear seasonal patterns, with pH ranging from 5.92 to 7.69, EC from 165.33 to 357 μS/cm, TDS from 80 to 183.33 mg/L, and DO from 4.23 to 7.46 mg/L. Lower pH and DO during parts of the monsoon and higher EC and TDS during the dry season reflected seasonal physicochemical variability potentially influenced by hydrological conditions and anthropogenic inputs. Linear regression confirmed a strong relationship between EC and TDS (
