Foam Formation in Shake Flasks and Its Consequences.
Article in Engineering in life sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Foam formation in stirred tank fermentation processes is a well-studied phenomenon. However, foaming in shake flask cultivations is rarely considered. Non-baffled shake flasks, in particular, are generally considered to prevent foaming problems. However, under certain process conditions, foaming in non-baffled shake flasks can occur. In this study, phenomena of foam formation in shake flasks, their impact on the maximum oxygen transfer capacity (OTR
