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
Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) is one of the wastes that has high hemicellulose composition and potentially processed into xylitol via biotransformation route. This study explores the effectiveness of ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF) in purifying and concentrating xylitol from OPEFB hydrolysate-fermentation broth. Various UF membranes, including UF1 (MWCO 150 kDa), UF2-Psf (MWCO 20 kDa), and UF2-PVDF (MWCO 50 kDa), were used, along with NF (MWCO 150 Da). Pre-treating the broth before UF was crucial to remove foulants such as microorganisms and macromolecules. While microfiltration (MF) achieved 100% microorganism rejection, its flux declined rapidly, necessitating feed centrifugation before MF. The choice of UF membrane MWCO significantly influenced xylitol retention, with UF2-PSf leading to substantial xylitol loss and UF2-PVDF showed promising results. NF has shown its applicability in concentrating xylitol in the UF permeate as much as 4 times higher, while permeating 90% of the acetic adic in the solution.
