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

Integrating bioprocess solutions for treatment and subsequent reuse of saline residual process brine into industrial processes could increase the sustainability of production chains. However, such bioprocesses require large-scales and a robust operation over a prolonged period. Consequently, the aim of this study was to analyze scale-up equivalence as well as continuous and stable process performance of a previously established lab scale process for the degradation of organic contaminants (formate and aromatic compounds) in an industrial context. To that end, a pilot-scale bubble column bioreactor system equipped with a membrane-based cell retention system for process intensification was integrated at an industrial production site. The process was successfully scaled-up and continuously operated for more than 210 days. Overall, the process proved to be robust towards changing compositions of the residual process brine stream and degradation rates for organic contaminants were close to 100%. Interestingly, due to the unsterile process conditions, the original
