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

A stable microbial consortium, separated from a refinery wastewater sample, was able to utilize carbazole as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy, and liberated ammonia from excess nitrogen. Two bacterial strains (NCY and NCW) were isolated from the microbial consortium using a nutrient agar plate. Based on the 16S rDNA sequence analysis, the two bacteria were identified as Chryseobacterium sp. NCY and Achromobacter sp. NCW, respectively. No intermediates of carbazole degradation were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography. The substrate specificity assay showed that the consortium could utilize compounds similar to carbazole, such as phenanthrene, naphthalene, and imidazole. Neither the pure strain NCY nor NCW could degrade carbazole after domestication for several times. It was suggested that the two bacteria formed a microbial consortium capable of metabolizing carbazole.
