Identification of Reductive Dehalogenases That Mediate Complete Debromination of Penta- and Tetrabrominated Diphenyl Ethers in
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are persistent, highly toxic, and widely distributed environmental pollutants. The microbial populations and functional reductive dehalogenases (RDases) responsible for PBDE debromination in anoxic systems remain poorly understood, which confounds bioremediation of PBDE-contaminated sites. Here, we report a PBDE-debrominating enrichment culture dominated by a previously undescribed Dehalococcoides mccartyi population. A D. mccartyi strain, designated TZ50, whose genome contains 25 putative RDase-encoding genes, was isolated from the debrominating enrichment culture. Strain TZ50 dehalogenated a mixture of pentabrominated diphenyl ether (penta-BDE) and tetra-BDE congeners (total BDEs, 1.48 μM) to diphenyl ether within 2 weeks (0.58 μM Br
