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

Hydrothermal pretreatment (HTP) has long been considered as an efficient and green treatment process to separate the components of lignocellulosic biomass. However, the theoretical investigation of HTP on the agricultural wastes and non-woody biomass has been rarely reported. Herein, one of the worldwide important industrial and agricultural wastes, tobacco stem (TS) was hydrothermally treated under various temperatures. A series of morphological observations on cell wall structures, and chemical compositional analyses were performed to investigate the deconstruction effects of HTP on TS. Especially, the degradation behavior of xylan, the major component of hemicellulose polysaccharides, was carefully determined, achieving the maximum removal rate of ~ 72%. Increased pretreatment temperature may result in higher ratio of xylose (~ 11%), xylan with low degree of polymerization (DP), and content of xylooligosaccharides in hydrolysates reached the maximum of ~ 51%. Besides, TS treated by HTP at 110 ℃ exhibited the highest cellulase hydrolysis yield of 77.4%, due to the xylan degradation and lower relative lignin ratio. Therefore, the present work may provide comprehensive understandings on the utilization and bioconversion of TS as well as other lignocellulosic agricultural wastes.
