Microbial Conversion of Glycerol Into 1,3-Propanediol by Fermentation: Review of Fundamentals and Operational Strategies.
Review in Microbial biotechnology, 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
Over the past decades, biodiesel production has sharply increased worldwide and has led to an overproduction of glycerol, as by-product. Therefore, glycerol is not only produced at low cost with a wide availability but is also a versatile precursor of useful value-added chemicals such as1,3-propanediol. At an industrial scale, glycerol conversion into 1,3-propanediol is almost entirely carried out by fermentation processes as they have shown the best economic and environmental performances. The aim of this article is to provide an up-to-date state of the art on the fundamentals and fermentation process strategies for the microbial conversion of glycerol into 1,3-propanediol. Glycerol fermentation metabolism is detailed and strategies concerning microbial inoculum (i.e., pure cultures of natural or genetically modified strains vs. mixed cultures or artificial consortia), process configuration (i.e., batch, fed-batch and continuous reactors, biomass immobilisation) and related operational parameters (i.e., temperature, pH, oxido-reduction potential) are discussed for the optimisation of 1,3-propanediol production by fermentation.
