Electrostatic Fields Promote Methanogenesis More than Polarized Bioelectrodes in Anaerobic Reactors with Conductive Materials.
Article in ACS omega, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is a breakthrough that can surpass the limitations of anaerobic digestion. Conductive materials and polarized bioelectrodes are known to induce DIET for methane production but are still challenging to apply at a field scale. Herein, compared to polarized bioelectrodes, electrostatic fields that promote DIET were investigated in an anaerobic reactor with conductive materials. As a conductive material, activated carbon enriched its surface with electroactive microorganisms to induce DIET (cDIET). cDIET improved the methane yield to 254.6 mL/g COD
