Functional genomic analysis of bacterial lignin degraders: diversity in mechanisms of lignin oxidation and metabolism.
Review in Applied microbiology and 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
Although several bacterial lignin-oxidising enzymes have been discovered in recent years, it is not yet clear whether different lignin-degrading bacteria use similar mechanisms for lignin oxidation and degradation of lignin fragments. Genome sequences of 13 bacterial lignin-oxidising bacteria, including new genome sequences for Microbacterium phyllosphaerae and Agrobacterium sp., were analysed for the presence of lignin-oxidising enzymes and aromatic degradation gene clusters that could be used to metabolise the products of lignin degradation. Ten bacterial genomes contain DyP-type peroxidases, and ten bacterial strains contain putative multi-copper oxidases (MCOs), both known to have activity for lignin oxidation. Only one strain lacks both MCOs and DyP-type peroxidase genes. Eleven bacterial genomes contain aromatic degradation gene clusters, of which ten contain the central β-ketoadipate pathway, with variable numbers and types of degradation clusters for other aromatic substrates. Hence, there appear to be diverse metabolic strategies used for lignin oxidation in bacteria, while the β-ketoadipate pathway appears to be the most common route for aromatic metabolism in lignin-degrading bacteria.
