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
Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is a bio-based technology with economic and environmental benefits. The success of MEOR depends greatly on the types and characteristics of indigenous microbes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of applying MEOR at Mae Soon Reservoir, an onshore oil reservoir experiencing a decline in its production rate. We investigated the capability of the reservoir's bacteria to produce biosurfactants, and evaluated the potentials of uncultured indigenous bacteria to support MEOR by means of prediction of MEOR-related functional genes, based on a set of metagenomic 16s rRNA gene data. The biosurfactant-producing bacteria isolated from the oil-bearing sandstones from the reservoir belonged to one species: Bacillus licheniformis, with one having the ability to decrease surface tension from 72 to 32 mN/m. Gene sequences responsible for biosurfactant (licA3), lipase (lipP1) and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O) were detected in these isolates. The latter two, and other genes encoding MEOR-related functional proteins such as enoyl-CoA hydratase and alkane 1-monooxygenase, were predicted in the bacterial communities residing the reservoir's sandstones. Exposure of these sandstones to nutrients, consisting of KNO
