Biodesulfurization: a model system for microbial physiology research.
Review in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Biological desulfurization (biodesulfurization) of dibenzothiophene (DBT) by the 4S pathway is a model system for an enviromentally benign way to lower the sulfur content of petroleum. Despite a large amount of effort the efficiency of the 4S pathway is still too low for a commercial oil biodesulfurization process, but the 4S pathway could potentially be used now for commercial processes to produce surfactants, antibiotics, polythioesters and other chemicals and for the detoxification of some chemical warfare agents. Proteins containing disulfide bonds are resistant to temperature, pH, and solvents, but the production of disulfide-rich proteins in microbial hosts is challenging. The study of the 4S pathway can provide insights as to how to maximize the production of disulfide-rich proteins. Engineering of the operon encoding the 4S pathway to contain a greater content of methionine and cysteine may be able to link use of DBT as a sole sulfur source to increasing 4S pathway activity by increasing the nutritional demand for sulfur. This strategy could result in the development of biocatalysts suitable for use in an oil biodesulfurization process, but the study of the 4S pathway can also lead to a better understanding of microbial physiology to optimize activity of a mult-step co-factor-requiring pathway, as well as the production of highly stable industrially relevant enzymes for numerous applications.
