Biodegradation of aromatic pollutants meets synthetic biology.
Article in Synthetic and systems biotechnology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Ubiquitously distributed microorganisms are natural decomposers of environmental pollutants. However, because of continuous generation of novel recalcitrant pollutants due to human activities, it is difficult, if not impossible, for microbes to acquire novel degradation mechanisms through natural evolution. Synthetic biology provides tools to engineer, transform or even re-synthesize an organism purposefully, accelerating transition from unable to able, inefficient to efficient degradation of given pollutants, and therefore, providing new solutions for environmental bioremediation. In this review, we described the pipeline to build chassis cells for the treatment of aromatic pollutants, and presented a proposal to design microbes with emphasis on the strategies applied to modify the target organism at different level. Finally, we discussed challenges and opportunities for future research in this field.
