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

Integrative processes for the production of bioenergy and biopolymers are gaining importance in recent years as alternatives to fossil fuels and synthetic plastics. In the present study, Bacillus thuringiensis strain EGU45 has been used to generate hydrogen (H2), polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and new co-polymers (NP). Under batch culture conditions with 250 ml synthetic media, B. thuringiensis EGU45 produced up to 0.58 mol H2/mol of glucose. Effluent from the H2 production stage was incubated under shaking conditions leading to the production of PHB up to 95 mg/l along with NP of levulinic acid up to 190 mg/l. A twofold to fourfold enhancement in PHB and up to 1.5 fold increase in NP yields was observed on synthetic medium (mixture of M-9+GM-2 medium in 1:1 ratio) containing at 1-2 % glucose concentration. The novelty of this work lies in developing modified physiological conditions, which induce bacterial culture to produce NP.
