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

The fermentation of industrial wastes derived from water recovery (pretreated microalgae biomass, PTMB), biodiesel (glycerol, GLY), and ethanol (vinasse, VIN)) is a promising sustainable alternative for producing volatile fatty acids (VFA). In this study, controlled fermentation experiments were performed using PTMB-VIN and PTMB-GLY mixtures with varying substrate concentrations and retention times to optimize the VFA yield and production efficiency. Acid fermentation was optimized at a 3-day hydraulic retention time, and methanogenic reactions were enhanced at longer hydraulic retention times. Increasing the organic loading rate resulted in a high VFA yield (13.10 g
