New Approach for the Construction and Calibration of Gas-Tight Setups for Biohydrogen Production at the Small Laboratory Scale.
Article in Metabolites, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Biohydrogen production in small laboratory scale culture vessels is often difficult to perform and quantitate. One problem is that commonly used silicon tubing and improvised plastic connections used for constructing apparatus are cheap and easy to connect but are generally not robust for gases such as hydrogen. In addition, this type of apparatus presents significant safety concerns. Here, we demonstrate the construction of hydrogen-tight apparatus using a commercially available modular system, where plastic tubing and connections are made of explosion-proof dissipative plastic material. Using this system, we introduce a gas chromatograph calibration procedure, which can be easily performed without necessarily resorting to expensive commercial gas standards for the calibration of hydrogen gas concentrations. In this procedure, the amount of hydrogen produced by the reaction of sodium borohydride with water in a closed air-filled bottle is deduced from the observed decrease of the oxygen partial pressure, using the ideal gas law. Finally, the determined calibration coefficients and the gas-tight apparatus are used for the analysis of simultaneous oxygen consumption and hydrogen production of the purple photosynthetic bacterium,
