Biodiesel's trash is a biorefineries' treasure: the use of "dirty" glycerol as an industrial fermentation substrate.
Review in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2019. 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
"Dirty" glycerol from biodiesel production is having a considerable environmental impact since its disposal is expensive and difficult. The increased biodiesel production in the last two decades has forced glycerol prices down, thereby making it now unprofitable for chemical companies to produce. The problem lies with the impurities of the biodiesel conversion process usually ending up within the crude glycerol fraction. These impurities are often too costly to purify with current processes, particularly for small scale producers. A wide variety of industries, including the paint, tobacco, food and pharmaceutical industries, utilize glycerol as part of their technology or products. However, the crude glycerol from biodiesel production is not of a high enough grade to be used in these industries. Biodiesel-produced crude glycerol is therefore cheap, readily available and presents itself as an attractive carbon source for industrial microbial production systems synthesizing value-added products. This mini-review will look at (a) microbial production processes which use crude glycerol to produce high-value products (product-driven research) and (b) genetic engineering of microbes which is aimed at improving microbial "dirty" glycerol utilization (substrate driven research).
