Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2022. 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
Polyurethane (PU), currently replacing existing synthetic materials worldwide, is a synthetic polymer derived from polyols, isocyanates, and a chain extender added by condensation reactions. PU wastes which are difficult to recycle, are commonly discarded in landfills and flow into ecosystems, thereby causing serious environmental problems. In recent years, insect-associated microbes have become a promising, eco-friendly strategy as an alternative to plastic recycling. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of
