Fungal and enzymatic bio-depolymerization of waste post-consumer poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) bottles using
Article in 3 Biotech, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is a petroleum-based plastic that is massively produced and used worldwide. A promising PET recycling process to circumvent petroleum feedstock consumption and help to reduce environmental pollution is microbial or enzymatic biodegradation of post-consumer (PC) PET packages to its monomers-terephthalic acid (TPA) and ethylene glycol (EG)-or to key intermediates in PET synthesis-such as mono- and bis-(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (MHET and BHET). Two species of filamentous fungi previously characterized as lipase producers (
