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

Chloroethenes are globally prevalent groundwater contaminants. Since 2014, TCE has been shown to be degradable in an aerobic metabolic process where it is used as sole energy source and growth substrate by a mixed bacteria culture (SF culture). In 2019, the SF culture was shown to be successfully used in bioaugmentation approaches under field-relevant conditions. In this study, a combined bio-/electro-approach to stimulate the TCE degradation by the SF culture was investigated in laboratory experiments. Column experiments were set up to compare a bioaugmentation approach with an electrochemical biostimulated bioaugmentation approach. Low strength direct current increased the amount of degraded TCE to about 150 % of the control. Through lowering the inflow concentration of oxygen, the effect of the electro-biostimulation in a low oxygen setting confirmed the potential of the bio-electro process for treatment of oxygen-deprived, TCE-contaminated sites.
