Heat-Treated Stainless Steel Felt as a New Cathode Material in a Methane-Producing Bioelectrochemical System.
Article in ACS sustainable chemistry & engineering, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Methane-producing bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) are a promising technology to convert renewable surplus electricity into the form of storable methane. One of the key challenges for this technology is the search for suitable cathode materials with improved biocompatibility and low cost. Here, we study heat-treated stainless steel felt (HSSF) for its performance as biocathode. The HSSF had superior electrocatalytic properties for hydrogen evolution compared to untreated stainless steel felt (SSF) and graphite felt (GF), leading to a faster start-up of the biocathodes. At cathode potentials of -1.3 and -1.1 V, the methane production rates for HSSF biocathodes were higher than the SSF, while its performance was similar to GF biocathodes at -1.1 V and lower than GF at -1.3 V. The HSSF biocathodes had a current-to-methane efficiency of 60.8% and energy efficiency of 21.9% at -1.3 V. HSSF is an alternative cathode material with similar performance compared to graphite felt, suited for application in methane-producing BESs.
