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

In this work, a bacterial strain with suitable capability to metabolize carbazole (CAR) as a main nitrogen containing compound of petroleum was isolated and characterized. 16S rDNA gene analysis and morphological characteristics of the strain showed that the isolate belonged to the genus Achromobacter and was tentatively named as Achromobacter sp. strain CAR1389. The growth monitoring and biodegradation rate measurements of carbazole in minimal medium supplemented by 6 mM CAR revealed that the strain CAR1389 is able to remove more than 90 % of this compound at 25, 30, and 37 °C during 7 days. The effect of higher concentrations of the carbazole on growth rate and metabolizing activity of the strain exhibited the Achromobacter sp. strain CAR1389 can tolerate increasing levels of CAR concentration up to 21 mM in culture media and degrade 43 % of this toxic material. According to these results and high tolerance of this bacterium in regards to higher concentrations of CAR, we suggest the strain CAR1389 as a suitable isolate to do biorefining of crude oil and also bioremediation processes in highly contaminated area of carbazole.
