Flocculant Screening Method at Lab Scale for Application in Disc Stack Centrifuges with Hermetic Design.
Article in Chemical engineering & technology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Chemicals produced using biotechnological methods like fermentation processes are obtained as complex diluted aqueous mixture, which still contains the production organism. Centrifugation is a commonly used technology for biomass separation. By flocculation, the settling velocity of microorganisms can be increased. Here, a laboratory flocculant screening method tailored for the separation of flocculated biomass in a fully hermetic disc stack centrifuge is described. The specific requirements of this process, namely, floc formation, floc stability, sliding behavior in the disc stack, and flowability of the sludge, were transferred to lab scale and validated in pilot tests. The qualitative results of the laboratory screening were in agreement with the processes at industrial scale.
