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

The positive impact of the thermal hydrolysis process (THP) of sewage sludge on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) removal during anaerobic digestion (AD) has been reported in the literature. However, little information is available on how changes in different extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) due to THP can influence ARG propagation during AD. This study focused on systematically correlating EPS components and ARG abundance in AD of sewage sludge pretreated with THP (80 °C, 110 °C, 140 °C, 170 °C). THP under different conditions improved sludge solubilization followed by improved methane yields in the biochemical methane potential (BMP) test. The highest methane yield of 275 ± 11.5 ml CH
