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

The reactor systems used for microbial electrosynthesis, i.e. bioelectrochemical systems for achieving bioproduction so far reported in literature are relatively small in scale and highly diverse in their architecture and modes of operation. The often diverging requirements of the electrochemical and the biological processes and the interdisciplinarity of the field make the engineering of these systems a special challenge. This has led to multiple, differently optimized approaches of reactor vessels, designs and operating conditions making standardization and normalization or even a systematic engineering almost impossible. Overcoming this lack of standardization, scalability and knowledge-driven engineering is the driving force for this work introducing an upgrade kit for bioreactors transforming these reversibly to bioelectroreactors. The prototypes of the bioreactor upgrade kit were integrated with commercial bioreactor (fermentor) systems and performances compared to a classic, small-scale bioelectrochemical glass cell system. The use of the upgrade kit allowed interfacing with the existing infrastructure of the conventional bioreactors for growing electroactive microorganisms in pure culture conditions, with the added electrochemical control and further process monitoring. The results of growing
