Efficient degradation of triclosan by an endophytic fungus Penicillium oxalicum B4.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Triclosan (TCS), a widely used antimicrobial and preservative agent, is an emerging contaminant in aqueous and soil environment. Microbial degradation of TCS has not been reported frequently because of its inhibition of microbe growth. To explore the new microbial resources for TCS biodegradation, fungal endophytes were isolated and screened for the degradation potential. The endophytic strain B4 isolated from Artemisia annua L. showed higher degradation efficiency and was identified as Penicillium oxalicum based on its morphology and ITS sequences of ribosomal DNA. In both medium and synthetic wastewater, TCS (5 mg/L) was almost completely degraded within 2 h by the strain B4. The high capacity of TCS uptake (127.60 ± 8.57 mg/g dry weight, DW) of fungal mycelium was observed during the first 10 min after TCS addition. B4 rapidly reduced initial content (5.00 mg/L) of TCS to 0.41 mg/L in medium in 10 min. Then, the accumulation of TCS in mycelium was degraded from 0.45 to 0.05 mg/g DW after 1-h treatment. The degradation metabolites including 2-chlorohydroquinone, 2, 4-dichloropheno, and hydroquinone were found to be restrained in mycelia. The end products of the biodegradation in medium showed no toxicity to Escherichia coli. The new characteristics of high adsorption, fast degradation, and low residual toxicity highlight the potential of endophytic P. oxalicum B4 in TCS bioremediation.
