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

Lactic acid bacteria can use an electron transport system to pass reducing equivalents to extracellular mediators. This redox flexibility decouples carbon and electron balances and presents the opportunity to use electrodes to engineer fermentations. We show that growth with an anode may be a two-edged sword for the fitness of the model lactic acid bacterium IMPORTANCE: A hybrid metabolism has been described in widespread fermenters where energy conservation through substrate level phosphorylation is coupled with electron transfer to external electron acceptors via extracellular redox mediators. This mechanism shapes interactions in microbial systems and presents opportunities in biotechnology. The variable physiological effects observed here of using an electrode as an electron sink highlight both the potential and challenges of applying electrodes to regulate fermentations. We show that polarization of an anode can hinder
