An uncultivated nitrate-reducing member of the genus Herminiimonas degrades toluene.
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
Stable isotope probing (SIP) is a cultivation-free methodology that provides information about the identity of microorganisms participating in assimilatory processes in complex communities. In this study, a Herminiimonas-related bacterium was identified as the dominant member of a denitrifying microcosm fed [(13)C]toluene. The genome of the uncultivated toluene-degrading bacterium was obtained by applying pyrosequencing to the heavy DNA fraction. The draft genome comprised ~3.8 Mb, in 131 assembled contigs. Metabolic reconstruction of aromatic hydrocarbon (toluene, benzoate, p-cresol, 4-hydroxybenzoate, phenylacetate, and cyclohexane carboxylate) degradation indicated that the bacterium might specialize in anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation. This characteristic is novel for the order Burkholderiales within the class Betaproteobacteria. Under aerobic conditions, the benzoate oxidation gene cluster (BOX) system is likely involved in the degradation of benzoate via benzoyl coenzyme A. Many putative genes for aromatic hydrocarbon degradation were closely related to those in the Rhodocyclaceae (particularly Aromatoleum aromaticum EbN1) with respect to organization and sequence similarity. Putative mobile genetic elements associated with these catabolic genes were highly abundant, suggesting gene acquisition by Herminiimonas via horizontal gene transfer.
