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

Sustainable management of agricultural and livestock wastes remains a major challenge in promoting the circular economy. In this study, a bioaugmentation strategy was applied to enhance methane production during the anaerobic digestion of lignocellulosic biomass. Under optimized conditions-including total solids content, pretreatment type, and inoculum source-the biogas yield and methane content reached 425 mL and 3.30%, respectively. Microbial community analysis indicated that Bacteroidota, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria were the dominant phyla during anaerobic digestion, while the relative abundance of Methanocorpusculum increased steadily throughout the process. The anaerobic digestion performance of corn stover was further improved through the combined application of biostimulation and bioaugmentation, resulting in a methane content of 5.37%. Moreover, exogenous inoculation with genetically modified Trichoderma reesei SEU-7 and the methanogen Methanosarcina barkeri increased the biogas yield and methane content to 970 mL and 8.95%, respectively. Overall, these results demonstrate that rational optimization of anaerobic digestion parameters and microbial consortia can substantially enhance biomass degradation and bioconversion efficiency.
