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

The pollution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was serious in sediments of the Pearl River estuary, China. A fluorene-degrading bacterium, strain A2-3, was isolated from hydrocarbon contaminated sediment of this estuary and identified as Rhodococcus sp. based on the analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequence and morphology. Rhodococcus sp. A2-3 can take naphthalene, p-Teropheny, fluorene, pyrene, salicylic acid, citric acid, acetic acid, diethyletheranhydrous, methanol or 4,4'-dibromodiphenyl ether as sole carbon source. 100% of 100 mg/L fluorene or 89% of 400 mg/L fluorene was removed in 7 days by strain A2-3 at 30 °C and pH 7.5. The strain A2-3 showed a high degradation efficiency of fluorene when pH values ranged from 5.5 to 8.5. The proposed pathway of fluorene catabolism by strain A2-3 was initially attacked by 3,4 dioxygenation. Our results suggested Rhodococcus sp. A2-3 can degrade PAHs under aerobic conditions and can function in bioremediation, particularly for weakly acid environment.
