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

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are considered substances of potential human health hazards because of their resistance to biodegradation and carcinogenic index. Chrysene is a PAH with a high molecular weight (HMW) that poses challenges for its elimination from the environment. However, bacterial degradation is an effective, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective solution. In our study, we isolated a potential chrysene-degrading bacteria from crude oil-contaminated seawater (Bizerte, Tunisia). Based on 16SrRNA analysis, the isolate S5 was identified as Achromobacter aegrifaciens. Furthermore, the results revealed that A. aegrifaciens S5 produced a biofilm on polystyrene at 20 °C and 30 °C, as well as at the air-liquid (A-L) interface. Moreover, this isolate was able to swim and produce biosurfactants with an emulsification activity (E24%) over 53%. Chrysene biodegradation by isolate S5 was clearly assessed by an increase in the total viable count. Confirmation was obtained via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses. A. aegrifaciens S5 could use chrysene as its sole carbon and energy source, exhibiting an 86% degradation of chrysene on day 7. In addition, the bacterial counts reached their highest level, over 25 × 10
