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

Anaerobic degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons has been investigated mostly with naphthalene as a model compound. Naphthalene degradation by sulfate-reducing bacteria proceeds via carboxylation to 2-naphthoic acid, formation of a coenzyme A thioester, and subsequent reduction to 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthoyl-coenzyme A (THNCoA), which is further reduced to hexahydro-2-naphthoyl-CoA (HHNCoA) by tetrahydronaphthoyl-CoA reductase (THNCoA reductase), an enzyme similar to class I benzoyl-CoA reductases. When analyzing THNCoA reductase assays with crude cell extracts and NADH as electron donor via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), scanning for putative metabolites, we found that small amounts of the product of an HHNCoA hydratase were formed in the assays, but the downstream conversion by an NAD
