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

backgroundThe world is facing both an increasingly severe energy crisis and a growing problem of agricultural pollution. The utilization of agricultural waste by anaerobic digestion (AD), has received increasing attention. AD using representative waste cow dung results in total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) accumulation and inhibition of methanogens resulting in reduced CH

resultsIn this study, an incremental approach to gradually increasing the TAN concentration has been used for overcoming the problem. The results showed that at an ultra-high concentration of 6124.09 mg/L TAN, a 48-day domesticated AD system functioned stably and the cumulative CH

conclusionsStepwise increase the TAN concentration is a novel method that was demonstrated to be a practical and sustainable way to overcome ultra-high TAN inhibition (6124.09 mg/L). During domestication, the two-component system may regulate the microbial collaborative network to ensure microbial activity and high abundance enrichment, thus potentially constructing a methanogenic system dominated by hydrogenotrophic and acetoclastic methanogenesis, holding a promising application prospect. This study helped recognize the potential of methanogens in tolerating ultra-high inhibition and developed an achievable AD technology for robustly treating fecal residue and wastewater in practice.
