Microbial degradation of halogenated aromatics: molecular mechanisms and enzymatic reactions.
Review in Microbial biotechnology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
Halogenated aromatics are used widely in various industrial, agricultural and household applications. However, due to their stability, most of these compounds persist for a long time, leading to accumulation in the environment. Biological degradation of halogenated aromatics provides sustainable, low-cost and environmentally friendly technologies for removing these toxicants from the environment. This minireview discusses the molecular mechanisms of the enzymatic reactions for degrading halogenated aromatics which naturally occur in various microorganisms. In general, the biodegradation process (especially for aerobic degradation) can be divided into three main steps: upper, middle and lower metabolic pathways which successively convert the toxic halogenated aromatics to common metabolites in cells. The most difficult step in the degradation of halogenated aromatics is the dehalogenation step in the middle pathway. Although a variety of enzymes are involved in the degradation of halogenated aromatics, these various pathways all share the common feature of eventually generating metabolites for utilizing in the energy-producing metabolic pathways in cells. An in-depth understanding of how microbes employ various enzymes in biodegradation can lead to the development of new biotechnologies via enzyme/cell/metabolic engineering or synthetic biology for sustainable biodegradation processes.
