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

The production of value-added bioproducts from renewable carbon sources has gained increasing attention in recent years. The aim of this study was to develop economical approaches for the production of prebiotic XOS with defined degree of polymerization (DP) by Bacillus subtilis MR42 from corn stalks. The MR42 strain has been genetically modified to delete the xynC gene, which enables it to convert xylan into specific XOS without generating xylose as a byproduct. Under optimal conditions, a high yield of XOS (703.4 mg/g xylan) was obtained. The purified XOS were further characterized using various techniques including TLC, HPLC, ESI-MS and
