Mle046 Is a Marine Mesophilic MHETase-Like Enzyme.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Accumulation of plastics in the oceans presents a major threat to diverse ecosystems. The introduction of biodegradable plastics into the market aims to alleviate the ecological burden caused by recalcitrant plastics. Poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) is a biodegradable commercial plastic that can be biodegraded similarly to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) by PETase-like enzymes and MHETases. The role of MHETases is to hydrolyze the intermediate degradation product of PET, mono-2-hydroxyethyl terephthalate (MHET) to its monomers. We recently identified a homolog of the MHETase of the PET-degrading bacterium
