Acidovorax PSJ13, a novel, efficient polyacrylamide-degrading bacterium by cleaving the main carbon chain skeleton without the production of acrylamide.

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
Given the environmental challenge caused by the wide use of polyacrylamide (PAM), an environmental-friendly treatment method is required. This study demonstrates the role of Acidovorax sp. strain PSJ13 isolated from dewatered sludge in efficiently degrading PAM. To be specific, the strain PSJ13 can degrade 51.67% of PAM in 96 h (2.39 mg/(L h)) at 35 °C, pH 7.5 and 5% inoculation amount. Besides, scanning electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography were employed to analyze samples, and the nitrogen present in the degradation products was investigated. The results showed that the degradation of PAM by PSJ13 started from the side chain and then mainly the -C-C- main chain, which produced no acrylamide monomers. As the first study to report the role of Acidovorax in efficiently degrading PAM, this work may provide a solution for industries that require PAM management.
