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

PFASs are a group of pollutants ubiquitous in the environment, for which their effects on the microbial community composition and activity of anaerobic granular sludge are still poorly understood. With our study, we aimed to provide insight into the impact of four PFASs on the methane yield of anaerobic granular sludge (AGS) using acetate as the substrate. Anaerobic granular sludge was exposed to different concentrations of 1H,1H,2H,2H-Tridecafluorooctan-1-ol (6:2FTOH), 1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluoro-1-decanol (8:2FTOH), Tridecafluorohexane-1-sulfonic acid (PFHxS) and Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). While the two fluorotelomers caused marginal changes in methane production, PFHxS and PFOA greatly inhibited acetoclastic methanogenesis. Depending on the concentration, the AGS could recover its activity after a certain number of hours when incubated with PFASs. The 50% Inhibitory Concentration (IC
