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

Antibiotic bacterial residue is a unique hazardous waste, and its safe and effective disposal has always been a concern of pharmaceutical enterprises. This report presents the effective treatment of hazardous waste-antibiotic bacterial residue-by black soldier fly larvae (larvae), oxytetracycline bacterial residue (OBR), and soya meal with mass ratios of 0:1 (soya), 1:20 (OBRlow), and 1:2 (OBRhigh), which were used as substrates for larval bioconversion. Degradation of OBR and oxytetracycline, the bacterial community, the incidence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and the bacterial function in the gut were examined. When the larvae were harvested, 70.8, 59.3, and 54.5% of the substrates had been consumed for soya, OBRlow and OBRhigh; 65.9 and 63.3% of the oxytetracycline was degraded effectively in OBRlow and OBRhigh, respectively. The larval bacterial communities were affected by OBR, abundant and various ARGs were discovered in the gut, and metabolism was the major predicted function of the gut. These findings show that OBR can be digested and converted by larvae with gut bacteria, and the larvae can be used as a bioremediation tool for the treatment of hazardous waste. Finally, the abundant ARGs in the gut deserve further attention and consideration in environmental health risk assessments.
