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

Cultivation of biomass crops for energy production is a promising land-use for farmland abandoned owing to radionuclide fallout. However, radionuclides in soil are easily taken up in the crop. To understand phase partitioning of radiocesium Cs (RCs) during anaerobic digestion (AD) of crops, semi-continuous AD experiments were carried out using two types of RCs-contaminated crops. Analysis of fractionated digestate effluent revealed that AD of the crops released RCs into the water phase (up to 82 %), and the efficiency of RCs solubilization depended on crop biodegradability. Adsorption treatment for removal of RCs from the water phase of the digestate indicated a water-zeolite partition coefficient of 0.287 L/g. The efficiency of removal from the water phase was 90 % at an adsorbent dose of 30 g/L.
