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

This study investigates the optimisation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) production by Mycolicibacterium smegmatis using sugarcane bagasse (SCB) hydrolysate as a low-cost, renewable carbon source. Key fermentation parameters including temperature, pH, agitation, inoculum size and nitrogen supplementation were optimised to enhance biomass growth and PHB accumulation. Under optimised conditions (37 °C, pH 7, 100 rpm, 3% inoculum), M. smegmatis achieved a maximum PHB content of 64% of DCW from SCB hydrolysate, corresponding to a PHB titre of ~ 1.0 g L
