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
backgroundCellulosic bioethanol processes involve several steps, all of which require experimental optimisation. A significant aid to this research would be a validated ultra scale-down (USD) model that could be used to perform rapid, wide ranging screening and optimisation experiments using limited materials under process relevant conditions.
resultsIn this work, the use of 30 mL shaken conical tubes as a USD model for an enzymatic hydrolysis process is established. The approach is demonstrated for the hydrolysis of distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS). Results from the USD tubes closely mimic those obtained from 4 L stirred tanks, in terms of the rate, composition and concentrations of sugars released, representing an 80-fold scale reduction. The utility of the USD approach is illustrated by investigating factors that may be limiting hydrolysis yields at high solids loadings. Washing the residual solids periodically during hydrolysis allowed 100% of the available sugar to be hydrolysed using commercially available enzymes.
conclusionThe results demonstrate that the USD system reported successfully mimics the performance of conventional stirred tanks under industrially relevant conditions. The utility of the system was confirmed through its use to investigate performance limitation using a commercially relevant feedstock. © 2015 The Authors.
