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

backgroundThis research work focuses on the utilization of indigenous fungi for in situ bioremediation of crude oil in the presence of silver nanoparticles.

methodsTwo fungi belonging to two different genera showed promising crude oil-degrading abilities. Fungal isolates were identified based on internal transcribed spacer rDNA sequence analysis. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of the crude oil remaining in the culture medium after seven days was performed. The response surface method (RSM) designed by Box-Behnken was used to establish a mathematical model. Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers were used to examine the genetic variation of fungal isolates.

resultsGas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis after seven days showed that the optimum biodegradation of crude oil was 57.8%. The crude oil degradation rate was significantly affected by a temperature of 30 °C, pH value of 7, crude oil concentration of 4 g/L, a 1:1 ratio between

conclusionsTwo fungal isolates showed promising crude oil-degrading abilities with positive effect of low concentrations of AgNPs on biodegradation. RSM is an efficient mathematical method to optimize the microbial biodegradation of crude oil.
