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

Anaerobic digestion of multiple substrates can generate more biogas while remaining stable, if positive synergistic effects are achieved. The type of co-digested substrates and the mixing ratio used, are the most important variables as each substrate has unique set of characteristics. Optimizing the volume ratios by testing various substrate mixing ratios is a popular method for determining the best-performing ratio of substrate mixture. The ternary mixture design has reportedly been found to quicken the process of testing different mixing ratios with high accuracy without running several experiments. Therefore, a ternary mixture design and a response surface approach are used in this work to ascertain the relationship between substrate mix and responses (biogas yield, methane yield, and synergy). The findings of the experiment revealed that R9 comprising 78.8 % human excreta, 11.8 % food leftovers and 9.4 % kitchen residue, had the highest methane production of 764.79 mLCH
