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

This study explores the types of acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) and their concentrations in different compartments of different conventional anaerobic bioreactors: (i) an upflow anaerobic membrane bioreactor (UAnMBR, biofilm/mixed liquor (sludge)); (ii) an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR, biofilm/mixed liquor (sludge)); and (iii) an upflow sludge blanket (UASB, sludge only), all operating at 15 °C. Ten types of the AHL, namely C4-HSL, 3-oxo-C4-HSL, C6-HSL, 3-oxo-C6-HSL, C8-HSL, 3-oxo-C8-HSL, C10-HSL, 3-oxo-C10-HSL, C12-HSL, and 3-oxo-C12-HSL, which were investigated in this study, were found in UAnMBR and UASB, whilst only six of them (C4-HSL, 3-oxo-C4-HSL, C8-HSL, C10-HSL, 3-oxo-C10-HSL, and C12-HSL) were found in AnMBR. Concentrations of total AHL were generally higher in the biofilm than the sludge for both membrane bioreactors trialed. C10-HSL was the predominant AHL found in all reactors (biofilm and sludge) followed by C4-HSL and C8-HSL. Overall, the UAnMBR biofilm and sludge had 10-fold higher concentrations of AHL compared to the AnMBR. C10-HSL was only correlated with bacteria (
