Enzymatic recycling of polyethylene terephthalate through the lens of proprietary processes.
Article in Microbial biotechnology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Because society is doing significant efforts to recycle plastics, one option is to break them down into monomers with the help of specialized enzymes. Polyesters such as PLA (polylactic), PCL (polycaprolactone), PHAs (polyhydroxyalkanoates) and PET (polyethylene-terephthalate) have been considered in more detail for these biological treatments, because they can be now produced as bio-based polymers, and because ester bounds and esterases are very frequently found in nature. In particular since PET is the most abundant thermoplastic of the polyester family and accounts for approximately 10% of all synthetic plastics on the market, it has attracted more attention. Here we will review the patented biological recycling processes concerning the recycling of PET.
