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

To enhance the degradation efficiency of oily wastewater, polyacrylamide (PAM)-sodium alginate (SA) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-sodium alginate (SA) were mixed and used as spherical supporting materials for the immobilization of microbials, which were employed as a platform to study the degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) in the oily wastewater. The degradation and evolution of normal paraffin (n-paraffin) series have been studied by determining the crude oil group composition of the residual oils by the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The results show that the half-lives of the PAM-SA-immobilized microorganisms are 6.21 days, which is 2.11 days less than that of PVA-SA, indicating that more nutrients are provided by PAM-SA for microbial growth, which can accelerate the degradation of TPHs. As can be seen from the GC-MS analysis, the main peak carbons of the n-paraffin series are moved backward after 14 days of degradation, implying the degrading advantage of n-paraffin with low carbon numbers.
