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

Electroactive microorganisms are capable of exchanging electrons with electrodes and thus have potential applications in many fields, including bioenergy production, microbial electrochemical synthesis of chemicals, environmental protection, and microbial electrochemical sensors. Due to the limitations of low electron transfer efficiency and poor stability, the application of electroactive microorganisms in industry is still confronted with significant challenges. In recent years, many studies have demonstrated that modulating anode potential is one of the effective strategies to enhance electron transfer efficiency. In this review, we have summarized approximately 100 relevant studies sourced from PubMed and Web of Science over the past two decades. We present the classification of electroactive microorganisms and their electron transfer mechanisms and elucidate the impact of anode potential on the bioelectricity behavior and physiology of electroactive microorganisms. Our review provides a scientific basis for researchers, especially those who are new to this field, to choose suitable anode potential conditions for practical applications to optimize the electron transfer efficiency of electroactive microorganisms, thus contributing to the application of electroactive microorganisms in industry.
