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

Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is known to induce the biodegradation of 1,4-dioxane (dioxane), an emerging contaminant, but the mechanisms by which THF affects dioxane biodegradation in microbial communities are not well understood. To fill this knowledge gap, changes in the microbial community structure in microcosm experiments with synthetic medium and landfill leachate were examined over time using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and functional gene quantitative PCR assays. The overarching hypothesis being tested was that THF promoted dioxane biodegradation by increasing the abundance of dioxane-degrading bacteria in the consortium. The data revealed that in experiments with synthetic medium, the addition of THF significantly increased the abundance of
