Biotransformation of benzo[a]pyrene by the thermophilic bacterium Bacillus licheniformis M2-7.
Article in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is recognized as a potentially carcinogenic and mutagenic hydrocarbon, and thus, its removal from the environment is a priority. The use of thermophilic bacteria capable of biodegrading or biotransforming this compound to less toxic forms has been explored in recent decades, since it provides advantages compared to mesophilic organisms. This study assessed the biotransformation of BaP by the thermophilic bacterium Bacillus licheniformis M2-7. Our analysis of the biotransformation process mediated by strain M2-7 on BaP shows that it begins during the first 3 h of culture. The gas chromatogram of the compound produced shows a peak with a retention time of 17.38 min, and the mass spectra shows an approximate molecular ion of m/z 167, which coincides with the molecular weight of the chemical formula C
