Folin-Ciocalteu assay as a rapid colourimetric screening method for evaluating PAH degradation abilities of heterotrophic bacteria.
Article in 3 Biotech, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bioremediation using microbes is an eco-friendly approach being explored for reclaiming PAH-contaminated areas. However, isolation and screening of potential bacteria to degrade PAHs are very laborious and cumbersome. To alleviate this issue, we describe a rapid method for screening the bacterial cultures for their ability to degrade PAHs using Folin-Ciocalteu (FC) assay. Six hundred bacterial isolates were tested for their ability to degrade PAH using FC assay. The cultures capable of degrading PAH show blue colouration, resulting from the reaction of FC reagent with phenolic intermediates generated during PAH degradation. Out of the 600 cultures screened, 64 showed an ability to degrade PAH. This study provides a very easy, rapid, less laborious, and sensitive method to screen a large number of bacterial cultures for their ability to degrade PAH.
