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

Large quantities of fruits and vegetables are lost along the supply chain due to their perishable nature, with factors such as inadequate refrigerated transport, poor road conditions, and limited cold storage facilities contributing to this loss. Anaerobic digestion offers a promising solution for mitigating the negative impacts of fruits and vegetable wastes (FVW). This study investigated the anaerobic co-digestion of FVW under ambient and mesophilic conditions, focusing on biogas yield, digestate quality, and energy efficiency. A 50:50 mixture of FVW and cow dung at mesophilic temperatures resulted in the highest biogas yield of 1,328.4 mLg
