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

backgroundOleaginous microorganisms are promising lipid producers that accumulate an abundance of lipids from different carbon sources. However, the cost of the carbon source in the culture medium is a significant component of the total substrate cost. In this study, lignocellulose from corncob hydrolysate (CBH) was used instead of glucose as a low-cost medium for Schizochytrium fermentation.

resultsEicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) content was 7.31%, after 110 h of fermentation, when the total sugar concentration of CBH was 80 g/L, which was greater than that of pure glucose medium. Replacing 40% of freshwater with fermentation wastewater (FW) resulted in biomass, lipid titer, and EPA titer of 42.16 g/L, 23.05 g/L, and 1.72 g/L, respectively. Compared with the initial CBH medium, the lipid and EPA titers in the 7.5-L bioreactor employing the FW recycling strategy using CBH as a carbon source increased by 12.10% and 9.26%, respectively.

conclusionsCorncob hydrolysate can be used as a potential low-cost and effective carbon source for EPA production by Schizochytrium sp. The recycling of FW provides a reference for reducing freshwater consumption and environmental pollution and realizing green and economic recycling fermentation.
