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

Butyrate is one of the most important intermediates during anaerobic digestion of protein wastewater, and its oxidization is considered as a rate-limiting step during methane production. However, information on syntrophic butyrate-oxidizing bacteria (SBOB) is limited due to the difficulty in isolation of pure cultures. In this study, two anaerobic chemostats fed with butyrate as the sole carbon source were operated at different dilution rates (0.01/day and 0.05/day). Butyrate- and acetate-oxidizing bacteria in both chemostats were investigated, combining DNA-Stable Isotope Probing (DNA-SIP) and 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that, in addition to known SBOB, Syntrophomonas, other species of unclassified Syntrophomonadaceae were putative butyrate-oxidizing bacteria. Species of Mesotoga, Aminivibrio, Acetivibrio, Desulfovibrio, Petrimonas, Sedimentibacter, unclassified Anaerolineae, unclassified Synergistaceae, unclassified Spirochaetaceae, and unclassified bacteria may contribute to acetate oxidation from butyrate metabolism. Among them, the ability of butyrate oxidation was unclear for species of Sedimentibacter, unclassified Synergistaceae, unclassified Spirochaetaceae, and unclassified bacteria. These results suggested that more unknown species participated in the degradation of butyrate. However, the corresponding function and pathway for butyrate or acetate oxidization of these labeled species need to be further investigated.
