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

Petroleum pollution of soils is a major environmental problem. Soil microorganisms can decompose a significant fraction of petroleum hydrocarbons in soil at low concentrations (1-5%). This characteristic can be used for soil remediation after oil pollution. Microbial community dynamics and functions are well studied in cases of moderate petroleum pollution, while cases with heavy soil pollution have received much less attention. We studied bacterial and fungal successions in three different soils with high petroleum contents (6 and 25%) in a laboratory experiment. The proportion of aliphatic and aromatic compounds decreased by 4-7% in samples with 6% pollution after 120 days of incubation but remained unchanged in samples with 25% hydrocarbons. The composition of the microbial community changed significantly in all cases. Oil pollution led to an increase in the relative abundance of bacteria such as Actinobacteria and the candidate TM7 phylum (Saccaribacteria) and to a decrease in that of Bacteroidetes. The gene abundance (number of OTUs) of oil-degrading bacteria (Rhodococcus sp., candidate class TM7-3 representative) became dominant in all soil samples, irrespective of the petroleum pollution level and soil type. The fungal communities in unpolluted soil samples differed more significantly than the bacterial communities. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling revealed that in the polluted soil, successions of fungal communities differed between soils, in contrast to bacterial communities. However, these successions showed similar trends: fungi capable of lignin and cellulose decomposition, e.g., from the genera Fusarium and Mortierella, were dominant during the incubation period.
