Association of Laccase from Bacillus cereus O2-B and Pseudomonas aeruginosa O1-P with the bio-degradation of polymers: an in vitro to in silico approach.
Article in Biodegradation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 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
Plastic accumulation has become a serious environmental threat. Mitigation of plastic is important to save the ecosystem of our planet. With current research being focused on microbial degradation of plastics, microbes with the potential to degrade polyethylene were isolated in this study. In vitro studies were performed to define the correlation between the degrading capability of the isolates and laccase, a common oxidase enzyme. Instrumental analyses were used to evaluate morphological and chemical modifications in polyethylene, which demonstrated a steady onset of the degradation process in case of both isolates, Pseudomonas aeruginosa O1-P and Bacillus cereus O2-B. To understand the efficiency of laccase in degrading other common polymers, in silico approach was employed, for which 3D structures of laccase in both the isolates were constructed via homology modeling and molecular docking was performed, revealing that the enzyme laccase can be exploited to degrade a wide range of polymers.
