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
The effect of different temperatures used in microwave pretreatment on enhancing methane production of corn straw was comparatively studied in this paper through the analysis of the physicochemical properties of the pretreated materials and the methane yield during anaerobic digestion. Analytic methods such as scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction were performed to detect the surface chemistry of the pretreated corn straw. The results indicated that microwave pretreatment could effectively disrupt the lignocellulosic structure to release cellulose, hemicellulose, and related derivatives and make them available for the process of anaerobic digestion. The outcome of the methanogenic assay demonstrated that methane production could be significantly improved by 73.08% concerning the variation of the temperatures in microwave pretreatment. This study provides technical support for pretreatment methods of lignocellulose materials and deems that microwave pretreatment boosts methane yield efficiently during the process of anaerobic digestion of lignocellulosic materials.
