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

Six cyclohexylacetic acid-degrading strains were isolated from soil samples in Japan and identified as members of the genera Cupriavidus (strain KUA-1), Rhodococcus, and Dietzia by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. For the first time members of these genera were shown to be capable of degrading cyclohexylacetic acid. A selected strain, KUA-1, which is the first reported Gram-negative organism capable of growth on cyclohexylacetic acid, was identified as a Cupriavidus metallidurans, based on morphologic and physiologic characteristics and its 16S rRNA gene sequence. Metabolite analysis by HPLC-MS indicated that 1-cyclohexenylacetic acid is an intermediate of cyclohexaneacetic acid metabolism in strain KUA-1.
