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

Microorganisms that are capable of live and adapt in hostile habitats of different environmental factors such as extremes temperature, salinity, nutrient availability and pressure are known as extremophiles. Exposure to xenobiotic compounds is global concern influencing the world population as a health hazard. Hence their removal is warranted using biological means that is very sustainable, potentially cost-effective and eco-friendly. Due to adaptation in extreme environments and unique defense mechanisms, they are receiving more attention for the bioremediation of the xenobiotic compounds. They possess robust enzymatic and biocatalytic systems that make them suitable for the effective removal of pollutants from the contaminated environment. Additionally, the extremophiles act as microfactories having specific genetic and biotechnological potential for the production of biomolecules. This mini review will provide an overview of microbial degradation metabolic pathways for bioremediation along with the molecular and physiological properties of diverse extremophiles from variety of habitats. Furthermore, the factors affecting the bioremediation process is also summarized.
