Degradation of long-chain n-alkanes by a novel thermal-tolerant Rhodococcus strain.
Article in Archives of microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
A novel bacterial strain, CH91, was isolated from a high-temperature oil reservoir. Morphological characterization, phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequence and genome relatedness indicated that the strain is a potential new species in the genus Rhodococcus. Strain CH91 could grow in the temperature range of 25-50 °C (optimally at 37 °C) and utilize a broad range of long-chain n-alkanes from hexadecane to hexatriacontane. The utilization of the n-alkanes mixture of strain CH91 revealed that the degradation rate was correlated to the length of the carbon chain. Two novel alkB genes encoding alkane 1-monooxygenase were found in the genome of this strain. The protein sequences of both alkane 1-monooxygenases showed a remarkable phylogenetic distance to other reported AlkB protein sequences. These results would help broaden our knowledge about alkane degradation by Rhodocuccus and its potential ecological role. The ability of the strain in the long-chain alkane degradation and thermal tolerance could also be further exploited for bioremediation of oil contaminations and microbial enhanced oil recovery.
