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

Surfactants represent a billionaire market of amphiphilic molecules with worldwide applications in almost every branch of modern industry. The most common surfactants, available and currently used, are chemically produced. However, there is an urge to replace these chemical compounds with those obtained by mild and green technologies such as microbial biosurfactants produced by fermentative processes. Rhamnolipids are glycolipid biosurfactants that present highly effective surface-active properties and enormous market potential; nevertheless, their production costs remain not competitive. Here, we present a process of rhamnolipid production by static submerged cultivation using membranes of bacterial cellulose as substrate. The mixture of the rhamnolipid congeners was characterized showing effective surface-active properties and high amount of di-rhamnolipids (95.6%). Through this fermentative technology, 15.8 g/L of rhamnolipid was reach using a very simple and low-cost medium. The present process might decrease biosurfactant production cost, avoid foam formation, and finally make rhamnolipid production more viable.
