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

Bioaugmentation of anaerobic digestion (AD) systems is considered a cost-effective and environmentally friendly strategy to combat incomplete digestion of recalcitrant lignocellulosic substrates. This study investigated the lowest microbial inoculum size required for once-off bioaugmentation of AD cultures to enhance biomethane yield and process performance. The batch, laboratory-scale anaerobic co-digestion was carried out using pretreated corn stover (PCS) and food waste (FW), with cellulolytic Bacillus subtilis, Serratia marcescens and Bacillus licheniformis. The bioaugmentation screening was accomplished through a stepwise increase in the microbial loading using an initial standardised concentration of 0.4 × 10
