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

Whey from cheesemaking is an environmental contaminant with a high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), containing an abundance of lactose. Hence, it has the potential to be utilized in the manufacturing of bio-based chemicals that have increased value. A designed sequential fermentation approach was employed in this research to convert enzymatic hydrolysate of cheese whey (primarily consists of glucose and galactose) into gluconic acid and bio-ethanol. This conversion was achieved by utilizing Gluconobacter oxydans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Glucose in the enzyme hydrolysate will undergo preferential oxidation to gluconic acid as a result of the glucose effect from Gluconobacter oxydans. Subsequently, Saccharomyces cerevisiae will utilize the remaining galactose exclusively for ethanol fermentation, while the gluconic acid in the fermentation broth will be retained. As a result, approximately 290 g gluconic acid and 100 g ethanol could be produced from 1 kg of cheese whey powder. Simultaneously, it was feasible to collect a total of 140 g of blended protein, encompassing cheese whey protein and bacterial protein. Two-step fermentation has proven to be an effective method for utilizing cheese whey in a sustainable manner.
