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

Globally, the production of municipal solid waste is rising annually because of consumerism and the urbanization process. In the past few years, different researchers have explored strategies for generating biogas from various organic wastes. In this study, kitchen waste and municipal solid waste were characterized by several physical-chemical parameters. Ten of these substrates were mono-digested for biogas production in batch reactors where cabbage showed a 96.36 ± 1.73% volatile solid and biogas yield of 800 ± 8.8 mL within 10 days, while cooked rice had an 83.00 ± 1.49% volatile solid, and a biogas yield of 2821 ± 31.03 mL within 28 days. The CN ratio for cabbage and cooked rice waste was 13.9 and 30.9 respectively, whereas their pH values were 6.2 and 7.2. Based on the characterization and biogas yields attained, cooked rice waste could be mono-digested for biogas production and no published work showed a high yield as the current study while the other substrates require co-digestion to improve the biogas yield.
