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
Biogas production from organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) not only helps in solid waste management but also combat the food vs fuel dilemma. The presence of lignocellulosic material and other complex compounds in OFMSW hinder biogas production. Therefore, pretreatment is an essential step to increase the hydrolysis rate by converting complex compounds to simpler ones. This work was aimed at effective pretreatment of OFMSW by biological and thermo-chemical means. For biological pretreatment lignin degrading fungal strains, Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Pleurotus ostreatus were employed. Thermo-chemical treatment resulted in higher solubilisation yield in terms of sCOD and VFA making it a more effective method as compared with biological pretreatment. The optimisation of thermo-chemical pretreatment was done by the Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology (RSM). The interactive effect of influencing factors NaOH dose, temperature and time were studied on the response of sCOD, VFA and phenolic content. The sCOD and VFA values were significantly increased by increasing the NaOH concentration, temperature and time to a certain limit. The optimised condition from RSM for maximum solubilisation yield in terms of sCOD, VFA and phenolic content was found to be NaOH dose of 4.72 g/L, temperature 180 °C and time 30.3 min. Biogas production was increased by 169.5% after pretreatment at RSM optimised conditions as compared with untreated OFMSW.
