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

In comparison to the transportation and storage of hydrogen, methane has advantages in the practical application, while the emerging product termed as 'biohythane' could be an alternative to pure hydrogen or methane in a new form of energy recovery from microbial electrolysis cell (MEC). However, the cathodic catalyst even for biohythane still bothers the performance and cost of total MEC. Herein, we fabricated the MEC reactor with surrounding stainless steel mesh (SSM) to investigate the feasibility of stainless steel mesh as an alternative to precious metal in biohythane production. The columbic efficiency (CE) of anode was around at 80%, representing the SSM would not limit the activity of anodic biofilm; the SEM image and ATP results accordingly indicated the anodic biofilm was mature and well constructed. The main contribution of methanogens that quantified by qPCR belonged to the hydrogenotrophic group (
