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

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) play crucial roles in the growth and survival of microorganisms. However, the lack of effective evaluation for extraction methods has limited further investigations and applications of EPS. This study established a quantitative assessment system for algal EPS thermal extraction methods based on extraction yield, cell integrity, and EPS chemical properties. An extraction efficiency parameter (ε) was introduced to quantify the relationship between EPS yield and cell rupture. Thermal treatment proved to be an effective approach for algal EPS extraction. Using the proposed evaluation system, the extraction methods for EPS of
