Bacteria-mediated phthalic acid esters degradation and related molecular mechanisms.
Review in Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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
Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) have long been known as the most widely used plasticizer with a broad range of industrial application. PAEs are ubiquitous in different environments and our daily life due to their large and widespread application. Recent PAEs research mainly focused on their environmental fate (including leaching, migration, transformation) and toxicology and risk assessment. With the comprehensive recognition of their potential hazard, the elimination of PAEs has attracted worldwide concerns. Although many factors may contribute to the degradation of PAEs, the dominant role of biodegradation was widely reported. Many PAEs-degrading bacteria were isolated, metabolites and metabolic pathways were proposed, and enzymes involved in the degradation were identified. The current paper presents an overview of available reports about PAEs-degrading bacteria and related molecular mechanisms. The metabolic pathways deduced from the identified intermediates were presented. The upstream and downstream pathways of PAEs metabolism were summarized, including the aerobic and anaerobic pathways of phthalic acid (PA) degradation. Known enzymes involved in the hydrolysis of ester bonds were characterized according to their properties. Based on phylogenetic analysis, all these enzymes were distributed in four families of esterases and one unknown family. For these five families, conserved sequence motifs were identified and the biological properties of these motifs were characterized. Challenges and emerging opportunities are also discussed.
