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

While in recent years, a lot of research regarding microbial dark fermentation for biohydrogen production has been carried out focusing on improving well-established processes, this review aims to draw attention to the discovery of a new method of process control, i.e., microaerobic dark fermentation in purple non-sulfur bacteria. This new subsegment of research tries to rethink efficiencies of biohydrogen production and substrate conversion based on an increasingly comprehensive understanding of metabolic pathways, particularly in the area of interplay between aerobic and anaerobic metabolism and the control of this state. By combining hydrogen production through dark fermentation and partially activated photofermentation by a partially active nitrogenase (~ 12%), microaerobic fermentation has the potential to increase hydrogen efficiency. At the same time, it allows to maintain advantages of facultative aerobes, such as high-cell densities and growth rates. Studies show that very high yields of up to 8-12 mol H
