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

Previous studies identified the use of xylose diboronate esters as an effective way to improve the selectivity of furfural production from xylose. This was experimentally proven in a batch system in the literature; however, due to the second-order nature of the production of side products, a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR), where starting material concentrations are low, should yield a higher selectivity. In this paper, we demonstrate that it is indeed the case by first modeling the said reactor and later validating the model by means of an experiment. The model shows that for longer residence times, a higher selectivity is indeed achieved, up to 100% for infinite residence times. In practice, a molar selectivity of 85% to furfural was achieved at 200 °C and a residence time of 30 min, clearly demonstrating the improvement in selectivity over the state-of-the-art.
