Identity and hydrocarbon degradation activity of enriched microorganisms from natural oil and asphalt seeps in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI).

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.
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
A previous cultivation-independent investigation of the microbial community structure of natural oil and asphalt seeps in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) revealed the dominance of uncultured bacterial taxa belonging to the phyla Deferribacterota and Coprothermobacterota and the orders Thermodesulfobacteriales, Thermales, and Burkholderiales. Here we report on a cultivation-dependent approach to identify members of these groups involved in hydrocarbon degradation in the KRI oil and asphalt seeps. For this purpose, we set up anoxic crude oil-degrading enrichment cultures based on cultivation media known to support the growth of members of the above-mentioned taxonomic groups. During 100-200 days incubation periods, nitrate-reducing and fermentative enrichments showed up to 90% degradation of C
