Bio-electrochemical frameworks governing microbial fuel cell performance: technical bottlenecks and proposed solutions.
Review in RSC advances, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are recognized as a future technology with a unique ability to exploit metabolic activities of living microorganisms for simultaneous conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy. This technology holds the promise to offer sustained innovations and continuous development towards many different applications and value-added production that extends beyond electricity generation, such as water desalination, wastewater treatment, heavy metal removal, bio-hydrogen production, volatile fatty acid production and biosensors. Despite these advantages, MFCs still face technical challenges in terms of low power and current density, limiting their use to powering only small-scale devices. Description of some of these challenges and their proposed solutions is demanded if MFCs are applied on a large or commercial scale. On the other hand, the slow oxygen reduction process (ORR) in the cathodic compartment is a major roadblock in the commercialization of fuel cells for energy conversion. Thus, the scope of this review article addresses the main technical challenges of MFC operation and provides different practical approaches based on different attempts reported over the years.
