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

Benzene mineralization under nitrate-reducing conditions was successfully established in an on-site reactor continuously fed with nitrate and sulfidic, benzene-containing groundwater extracted from a contaminated aquifer. Filling material from the reactor columns was used to set up anoxic enrichment cultures in mineral medium with benzene as electron donor and sole organic carbon source and nitrate as electron acceptor. Benzene degradation characteristics and community composition under nitrate-reducing conditions were monitored and compared to those of a well-investigated benzene-mineralizing consortium enriched from the same column system under sulfate-reducing conditions. The nitrate-reducing cultures degraded benzene at a rate of 10.1 ± 1.7 μM d
