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

Microalgae are promising candidates for renewable biofuel production and nutrient-rich animal feed. Cultivating microalgae using wastewater can lower production costs but often results in biomass contamination and increases downstream processing requirements. This study presents a novel system that integrates an algae cultivator (AC) with a single-chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC) equipped with photosynthetic and air-cathode functionalities, separated by a ceramic membrane. The system enables the generation of electricity and production of clean microalgae biomass concurrently, in both light and dark conditions, utilizing wastewater as a nutrient source and renewable energy. The MFC chamber was filled with simulated potato processing wastewater, while the AC chamber contained microalgae
