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 accumulation of protons in electro-active biofilms (EABfs) has been reported as a critical parameter determining produced currents at the anode since the very beginning of the studies on Bio-electrochemical systems (BESs). Even though the knowledge gained on the influence of this parameter on the produced currents, its influence on EABfs growth is frequently overlooked. In this study, we quantified EABfs thicknesses in real-time and related them to the produced current at three buffer concentrations, two anode potentials and two acetate concentrations. The thickest EABfs (80 μm) and higher produced currents (2.5 A.m
