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

The present study aimed to evaluate the best strategy to enhance the degradation rate of heavy petroleum hydrocarbons (HPH) contaminated soil in a landfarming plant. Samples of real contaminated soil, further spiked with HPH, were treated in mesocosm reactors simulating the landfarming system. One reactor was operated without any modification compared to the real landfarming plant. The other three reactors were operated with different strategies to improve the removal rate: biostimulation (BS) through the addition of nitrogen and phosphorus; bioaugmentation (BA) with the inoculation of sludge produced in the treatment of the process water from the oil re-fining plant of the same industrial area; combination of biostimulation and bioaugmentation (BAS). The biostimulation (BS) was the most effective strategy, leading to a reduction of the remediation time by 35% as compared to the traditional treatment. Bioaugmentation (BA) also provided positive effects leading to a reduction of the remediation time by 24%; its performance improved further when the addition of sludge was combined with the increase of phosphorous (BAS). Therefore, the key tool was represented by the phosphorous availability, whereas the application of sludge was most useful to provide waste with a new possibility of reuse, thus fulfilling the principles of the circular economy. The final characterization showed that the treated soil was suitable for reuse in industrial areas according to the legislation in force.
