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

Biofilms are widely present in natural and engineered porous media, playing a crucial role in pollution control, resource recovery, and industrial applications; in which, the biofilm detachment induces the dynamic changes in flow paths within porous media, and significantly impact the permeability and hydrodynamic properties of porous media. In this review paper, we first introduce two types of biofilm detachment based on the detaching position: internal detachment occurs within the biofilm far from the flow path, creating a new flow path; and external detachment occurs outside the biofilm near the flow path, causing the flow path to widen. These two types of detachment work together in porous media, often leading to increased permeability and reorganization of flow paths. Then we systematically summarize two kinds of stresses influencing the biofilm detachment: shear stress generated by fluid flow on the biofilm, and cohesive strength inside the biofilm. Shear stress significantly influences biofilm dynamics, including growth, structure, and detachment, and is influenced by the pore structure characteristics of the medium and the physical properties of the biofilm. Biofilm cohesive strength, crucial for stability and adhesion, increases with depth and is influenced by EPS content and composition, pH value, and the presence of metal ions. The interplay between shear stress and cohesive strength determines biofilm stability and detachment, affects biofilm performance in various applications. Therefore, understanding biofilm detachment mechanism can better control and optimize physical and chemical properties of the porous media.
