Advances in monitoring of catabolic genes during bioremediation.
Article in Indian journal of microbiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Biodegradation of xenobiotic compounds by microbes is exploited in the clean up of contaminated environments by bioremediation. Catabolic (or functional) genes encode for specific enzymes in catabolic pathways such as key enzymes in xenobiotic degradation pathways. By assessing the abundance or the expression of key genes in environmental samples one can get a potential measure of the degradation activity. One way of assessing the abundance and expression of specific catabolic genes is by analyzing the metagenomic DNA and RNA from environmental samples. Three major challenges in the detection and quantification of catabolic genes in bioremediation studies are 1) the accurate and sensitive quantification from environmental samples 2) the coverage of the enzymatic potential by the targeted genes 3) the validation of the correlation with actual observed degradation activities in field cases. New advances in realtime PCR, functional gene arrays and meta-transcriptomics have improved the applicability of catabolic gene assessment during bioremediation.
