1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Reductive dechlorination performed by organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) enables the complete detoxification of certain emerging groundwater pollutants such as perchloroethene (PCE). Environmental samples from a contaminated site incubated in a lab-scale microcosm (MC) study enable documentation of such reductive dechlorination processes. As compound-specific isotope analysis is used to monitor PCE degradation processes, nucleic acid analysis-like 16S-rDNA analysis-can be used to determine the key OHRB that are present. This study applied both methods to laboratory MCs prepared from environmental samples to investigate OHRB-specific isotope enrichment at PCE dechlorination. This method linkage can enhance the understanding of isotope enrichment patterns of distinct OHRB, which further contribute to more accurate evaluation, characterisation and prospection of natural attenuation processes. Results identified three known OHRB genera (Dehalogenimonas, Desulfuromonas, Geobacter) in diverse abundance within MCs. One species of Dehalogenimonas was potentially involved in complete reductive dechlorination of PCE to ethene. Furthermore, the isotopic effects of PCE degradation were clustered and two isotope enrichment factors (ε) (- 11.6‰, - 1.7‰) were obtained. Notably, ε values were independent of degradation rates and kinetics, but did reflect the genera of the dechlorinating OHRB.
