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

Hydrogen is central to sustainable energy systems, with biological production from waste offering a low-energy, environmentally compatible route. Anaerobic dark fermentation by microbes converts organic substrates into hydrogen, yet yields remain limited by competing metabolic pathways and poor understanding of cellular resource allocation in hydrogen-producing strains. Conventional genome-scale models rely on stoichiometric constraints alone, often failing to capture realistic enzyme limitations or strain-specific biomass composition. Here we show that an enzyme-constrained genome-scale metabolic model (ecGEM) of the hydrogen-producing bacterium
