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

Nowadays, much of what we know regarding the isolated cellulolytic bacteria comes from the conventional plate separation techniques. However, the culturability of many bacterial species is controlled by resuscitation-promoting factors (Rpfs) due to entering a viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state. Therefore, in this study, Rpf from Micrococcus luteus was added in the culture medium to evaluate its role in bacterial isolation and enhanced effects on cellulose-degrading capability of bacterial community in the compost. It was found that Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria were two main phyla in the compost sample. The introduction of Rpf could isolate some unique bacterial species. The cellulase activity of enrichment cultures with and without Rpf treatment revealed that Rpf treatment significantly enhanced cellulase activity. Ten isolates unique in Rpf addition displayed carboxymethyl-cellulase (CMCase) activity, while six isolates possessed filter paper cellulase (FPCase) activity. This study provides new insights into broader cellulose degraders, which could be utilized for enhancing cellulosic waste treatment.
