Culture-dependent and culture-independent analysis of hydrocarbonoclastic microorganisms indigenous to hypersaline environments in Kuwait.
Article in Microbial ecology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The halophilic, hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria and archaea inhabiting two hypersaline coastal areas in Kuwait, one in the north and the other in the south, were counted and characterized. Environmental parameters in both areas were similar, with the exception of the soil organic carbon content, which was in the north higher than in the south. The hydrocarbonoclastic bacterial and haloarchaeal numbers and identities as analyzed using nutrient media of various salinities were similar in soil and pond water samples from both areas. The bacterial species recorded by this culture-dependent method belonged to the genera Halomonas, Chromohalobacter, Marinobacter, Exiguobacterium, Stenotrophomonas, Pseudomonas, Salinivibrio, and Bacillus. The haloarchaeal species belonged to the genera Haloferax and Halobacterium. When analyzed by fingerprinting of their amplified genomic DNA followed by sequencing of the electrophoresis-resolved bands, the same environmental samples revealed a different microbial composition. Bacterial phylotypes recorded by this culture-independent method were affiliated with the genera Ochrobactrum, Stenotrophomonas, Rhodococcus, and "Halomicrobium," whereas the archaeal phylotypes were affiliated with Halorussus, Halomicrobium, and Halorientalis. The observed diversity and composition similarity of the hydrocarbonocalastic microflora in both hypersaline areas suggest an effective potential for oil mineralization therein. This potential has been confirmed experimentally.
