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

D-lactic acid is a key chiral intermediate widely applied in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and polylactic acid synthesis, with microbial fermentation as its main production method. Commercial D-lactic acid production depends heavily on refined carbohydrates and yeast extract as carbon and nitrogen sources, resulting in prohibitive raw material costs. Abundant in microbially available proteins and carbohydrates, renewable resources can act as carbon and nitrogen substrates for efficient D-lactic acid production. Repurposing these resources reduces production expenses and is essential for the industrial scaling of D-lactic acid manufacturing. This paper reviews research advances in D-lactic acid fermentation using renewable feedstocks including agricultural wastes, sugar industry residues, oil processing wastes, and cheese processing by-products as carbon and nitrogen sources.
