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 approach of converting waste paper (WP) to glucose via hydrolysis reaction is a promising alternative to current disposal methods. Glucose is a key intermediate in the production of various chemicals. In this study, we first characterize WP by several analytical tools and then compare the WP-to-glucose conversion via sulfuric acid (SA)- and free cellulase enzyme (FE)-catalysed reactions, primarily focusing on experimental and techno-economic evaluation. WP contains loosely connected fibres with inorganic filler elements (Ca, Si and Al) distributed on their surfaces. SA-hydrolysis completely hydrolyses WP to glucose in just 2 h; however, the use of H
