The Degradation of Phenanthrene, Pyrene, and Fluoranthene and Its Conversion into Medium-Chain-Length Polyhydroxyalkanoate by Novel Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon-Degrading Bacteria.
Article in Current microbiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Screening of high-efficient polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading bacteria is important due to environmental contamination by PAHs. In this study, sediment contaminated with phenanthrene (Phe), pyrene (Pyr), and fluoranthene (Fluo) was used as a source of bacteria. The ability of these isolated bacteria to convert PAHs into valuable products was determined. Based on a primary screening, 20 bacterial isolates were obtained; however, only three strains showed a good PAH-degrading ability, and were identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas sp., and Ralstonia sp. PAH-degrading genes were detected in all isolates. Notably, all selected strains could degrade PAHs using the ortho or meta cleavage pathways due to the presence of catechol dioxygenase genes. The ability of isolated strains to convert PAHs into polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) was also evaluated in both single and mixed cultures. Single cultures of P. aeruginosa PAH-P02 showed 100% degradation of PAHs, with the highest biomass (1.27 ± 0.02 g l
