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

With the frequent occurrence of oil spills, the bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons pollution has attracted more and more attention. In this study, we investigated the biodegradation of crude oil by the biosurfactant-producing strain S-1. The strain was isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil and identified as Serratia marcescens according to partial 16S rDNA gene analysis. It was able to effectively degrade hydrocarbons with the concomitant production of biosurfactants at 20-30 °C, while there was no biosurfactant production and the degradation rate was lower at 37 °C. The biosurfactant was identified as serrawettin W1 by UPLC-ESI-MS, and was found to reduce the surface tension of water to 30 mN/m, with stable surface activity and emulsion activity at temperatures from 20 to 100 °C, pH of 2-10 and NaCl concentrations of 0-50 g/L. Serrawettin W1 significantly increased the cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) and enhanced the bioavailability of hydrocarbon pollutants, which was conducive to the degradation of crude oil, including long-chain alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. Serratia marcescens S-1 has potential applications in bioremediation at low temperature.
