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

The desulfurization of fuel is currently enforced to meet environmental legislation and prevent pollution. The use of specific biodesulfurizing microbes with a unique 4S pathway allows the desulfurization without compromising the quality of fuel. These specific microbes can be screened by the detection of 2-hydroxybiphenol (2-HBP) in desulfurizing mixture of dibenzothiophene (DBT). At present, colorimetric Gibb's assay is the most commonly employed screening method which requires a specific reagent, i.e., 2,6-dichloroquninone-4-chloramide. In the present study, a novel and simple spectrophotometric method was developed for the detection of 2-HBP for screening purpose based on dual wavelength method. The developed method facilitates the simultaneous analysis of DBT desulfurization and 2-HBP production in a sample by merely measuring the absorbance differences at two specified wavelengths, i.e., Δ
