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

backgroundLow-cost raw materials such as lignocellulosic materials have been utilized in second-generation ethanol production process. However, the sequential and slow conversion of xylose into target products remains one of the main challenges for realizing efficient industrial lignocellulosic biorefinery.

resultsBy applying different constant potentials to different microbial electrolysis cells with xylose as the sole carbon source, we analyzed the output of metabolites, microbial community structures, electron flow, and carbon flow in the process of xylose electro-fermentation by domesticated activated sludge. The bioreactors produced currents when applying positive potentials. The peak currents of the + 0.242 V, + 0.542 V and + 0.842 V reactors were 0.96 × 10

conclusionThe constructed microbial electrolysis cells with different potentials obtained better production yield and selectivity compared with the reactor without applied potential. Our work provides strategies for the subsequent fermentation processes with different needs.
