Biodegradation of sulfamethazine by an isolated thermophile-Geobacillus sp. S-07.

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
Sulfamethazine (SM2) is an antimicrobial drug that is frequently detected in manure compost, is difficult to degrade at high temperatures and is potentially threatening to the environment. In this study, a thermophilic bacterium was isolated from the activated sludge of an antibiotics pharmaceutical factory; this bacterium has the ability to degrade SM2 at 70 °C, which is higher than the traditional manure composting temperature. The strain S-07 is closely related to Geobacillus thermoleovorans based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence. The optimal conditions for the degradation of SM2 are 70 °C, pH 6.0, 50 rpm rotation speed and 50 mL of culture volume. More than 95% of the SM2 contained in media was removed via co-metabolism within 24 h, which was a much higher percentage than that of the type strain of G. thermoleovorans. The supernatant from the S-07 culture grown in SM2-containing media showed slightly attenuated antibacterial activity. In addition, strain S-07 was able to degrade other sulfonamides, including sulfadiazine, sulfamethoxazole and sulfamerazine. These results imply that strain S-07 might be a new auxiliary bacterial resource for the biodegradation of sulfonamide residue in manure composting.
