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
BTX (benzene, toluene and xylene) degrading bacteria were isolated from Pacific Ocean sediment and nearshore surface water. In the seawater near a ferry dock, degrading bacteria of a relatively wide diversity were detected, including species of Pseudomonas, Rhodococcus, Exiguobacterium and Bacillus; while species of Bacillus only have been detected from the deep-sea sediment. Most of the isolates showed degradation to more than one compound. Generally better growth was obtained with p-xylene and ethylbenzene than with the other two. All the bacteria could tolerate and grow with the compounds at 5-20% (v/v). Both benzene and toluene degradation related genes had been successfully PCR cloned from the isolates of nearshore water, the detected benzene dioxygenase gene was identical among all the species and close to its soil counterpart. However, they were not detected in all the isolates from deep sea. Results in this report suggested that BTX degrading bacteria widely spread in marine environments and they might be of potentials in biotreatment of BTEX in saline environments.
