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

A simple potentiostat was constructed as a strategy to enhance solvent production in a mediatorless and oxygen-exposed fermentation inoculated with the aerotolerant strain Clostridium sp. C10. Elevated n-butanol and acetone titers were recorded in all fermentations with either glucose or xylose in the presence of electrodes poised at + 500 mV (+ 814 mV vs SHE) relative to cells plus substrate only controls. Respective butanol titers and volumetric butanol productivities in studies performed with 30 g/L glucose or 30 g/L xylose were 1.67 and 2.27 times and 1.90 and 6.13 times greater in the presence of electrodes compared to controls. Glucose and xylose utilization in the presence of electrodes was 61 and 125% greater than no-electrode controls, respectively. Increasing substrate concentrations to 60 g/L decreased the butanol yields relative to the studies performed at 30 g/L. These data suggest that it may be more efficient to alter reactor reduction potential than increase substrate concentration for solvent output during industrial fermentations, which favors higher yield with few additional inputs.
