Characterization of plastic degrading bacteria isolated from sewage wastewater.
Article in Saudi journal of biological sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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 is a fundamental polymer used in routine life and disposed of in sewage. It leads to microplastic pollution in aquatic organisms, introducing it into the food chain and affecting human health. In the present study, samples were collected from sewage wastewater to isolate the bacteria that could potentially reduce plastic. The six samples were incubated with plastic pieces in minimal salt media for 120 days. After 120 days, the weight loss experiment showed that samples SH5B and SH6B degraded 25% plastic. After chemical and molecular characterization, these strains were identified as
