Effect of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene on soil bacterial communities.
Article in Journal of industrial microbiology & biotechnology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
To gain insight into the impact of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) on soil microbial communities, we characterized the bacterial community of several TNT-contaminated soils from two sites with different histories of contamination and concentrations of TNT. The amount of extracted DNA, the total cell counts and the number of CFU were lower in the TNT-contaminated soils. Analysis of soil bacterial diversity by DGGE showed a predominance of Pseudomonadaceae and Xanthomonadaceae in the TNT-contaminated soils, as well as the presence of Caulobacteraceae. CFU from TNT-contaminated soils were identified as Pseudomonadaceae, and, to a lesser extent, Caulobacteraceae. Finally, a pristine soil was spiked with different concentrations of TNT and the soil microcosms were incubated for 4 months. The amount of extracted DNA decreased in the microcosms with a high TNT concentration [1.4 and 28.5 g TNT/kg (dry wt) of soil] over the incubation period. After 7 days of incubation of these soil microcosms, there was already a clear shift of their original flora towards a community dominated by Pseudomonadaceae, Xanthomonadaceae, Comamonadaceae and Caulobacteraceae. These results indicate that TNT affects soil bacterial diversity by selecting a narrow range of bacterial species that belong mostly to Pseudomonadaceae and Xanthomonadaceae.
