Microbial electricity-driven anaerobic phenol degradation in bioelectrochemical systems.

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 electrochemical technologies have been extensively employed for phenol removal. Yet, previous research has yielded inconsistent results, leaving uncertainties regarding the feasibility of phenol degradation under strictly anaerobic conditions using anodes as sole terminal electron acceptors. In this study, we employed high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to investigate the anaerobic phenol degradation pathway. Our findings provide robust evidence for the purely anaerobic degradation of phenol, as we identified benzoic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, glutaric acid, and other metabolites of this pathway. Notably, no typical intermediates of the aerobic phenol degradation pathway were detected. One-chamber reactors (+0.4 V vs. SHE) exhibited a phenol removal rate of 3.5 ± 0.2 mg L
