Indeed the graphs doesn't show this very clearly, but if you compare
both of them carefully (check again!), in this case all data points are
aligned with the linear/"no excess heat" trend line. This is because...
[read below]
So, in other words, they are using the active wire at temperatures below
where the effect turns on, and this is their inert or blank calibration.
...actually, they make the active wire "inert" in a way that
temperatures where the effect would normally show (the "con produzione"
red data points) can be reached without excess heat production and used
for calibration. No details on how this is achieved have been provided
yet (although I expect they used a fully hydrogen-unloaded wire under an
inert gas mixture).
That's not a good method, in my opinion. They need to try a fully inert
wire made from another substance, calibrating through the full range of
temperatures that the active wire exposed to.
They're doing it with a deactivated/inert Celani wire.
After the calibration process they reactivate it by loading it with
hydrogen.
