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

There is growing interest in recent times for microalgae as a sustainable energy source. However, efficient harvesting of microalgal biomass for various industrial applications is still considered a bottleneck. The present study attempts to evaluate microalgae Scenedesmus sp. harvesting using electro-coagulation-flocculation (ECF). Plackett-Burman design was exploited to explore the significant process parameters, whereas Taguchi's array design was employed for optimization. The optimal conditions were optimized as initial pH 5.0, electrolysis time 15 min, electrode distance 2 cm, sedimentation time 60 min, and current density 12 mA cm
