Biochemical production with microbial bioelectrochemical systems.
Review in Current opinion in biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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 bioelectrochemical systems (BES) represent a promising platform for sustainable biochemical production by leveraging microbial electrocatalysis. These systems utilize electrical energy to drive microbial metabolic processes, enabling the recovery of CO₂ into valuable organic molecules such as methane, acetate, ethanol, and other biochemicals. This approach aligns with global efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and create circular carbon economies. The advancement of BES technology requires both scale-down and scale-up strategies to ensure feasibility and scalability. Scale-down approaches focus on optimizing operational parameters, enhancing electron transfer efficiencies, and understanding microbial community dynamics under controlled conditions. Scale-up efforts address the challenges of maintaining system stability, energy efficiency, and economic viability in larger, industrial-scale operations. Together, these strategies bridge the gap between fundamental laboratory research and real-world applications, positioning microbial BES as a key technology for sustainable biochemical production and captured carbon utilization.
