A plate-based electrochromic approach for the high-throughput detection of electrochemically active bacteria.

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
Electrochemically active bacteria (EAB) have the ability to transfer electrons to electron acceptors located outside the cell, and they are widely present in diverse environments. In spite of their important roles in geochemical cycles, environmental remediation and electricity generation, so far, only a limited number and types of EAB have been isolated and characterized. Thus, effective and rapid EAB identification methods are highly desirable. In this protocol, we describe a photometric protocol for the visualization and high-throughput identification and isolation of EAB. The protocol relies on the fast electron acquisition and color change ability of an electrochromic material, namely a tungsten trioxide (WO3) nanorod assembly. The extracellular electron transfer (EET) from EAB to the WO3 nanorod assembly probe is accompanied by a bioelectrochromic reaction made evident by the color change of the probe. This protocol enables researchers to rapidly identify EAB and evaluate their EET ability either qualitatively with the naked eye or quantitatively by image analysis. We have also successfully used this protocol to isolate EAB from environmental samples. The time needed to complete this protocol is ∼2 d, with the actual EAB identification process taking about 5 min.
