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
In spite of the developments in understanding of denitrifying methylotrophy in the recent years, challenges still exist in unravelling the overall biochemistry of nitrate-dependent methane oxidation in novel or poorly characterized/not-yet-cultured bacteria. In the present study, landfill site was mined for novel C1-carbon-metabolizing bacteria which can use nitrate/nitrite as an electron acceptor. A high-throughput rapid plate assay identified three bacterial isolates with eminent ability for nitrate-dependent methane metabolism under anaerobic conditions. Taxonomic identification by whole-genome sequence-based overall genome relatedness indices accurately assigned the isolates AAK_M13, AAK_M29, and AAK_M39 at the species level to Enterobacter cloacae, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus halotolerans, respectively. Several genes encoding sub-components involved in alcohol utilization and denitrification pathways, such as adh, fdh, fdo, nar, nir, and nor, were identified in all the genomes. Though no gene clusters encoding MMO/AMO were annotated, sequencing of PCR amplicons revealed similarity with pMMO/AMO gene using translated nucleotide sequence of strains AAK_M29 and AAK_M39, while strain AAK_M13 showed similarity with XRE family transcriptional regulator. This suggests the horizontal gene transfer and/or presence of a truncated version of a housekeeping enzyme encoded by genes exhibiting partial sequence similarity with pMMO genes that mimicked its function at greenhouse gas emission sites. Owing to lack of conclusive evidence for presence of methane metabolism genes in the selected isolates, further experiment was performed to validate their nitrate-dependent methane oxidation capacities. Bacillus subtilis AAK_M29, Bacillus halotolerans AAK_M39, and Enterobacter cloacae AAK_M13 could oxidize 60%, 75%, and 85% of the added methane respectively accompanied by high nitrate reduction (56-62%) thus supporting the correlation between these two activities. The remarkable ability of these isolates for nitrate-dependent methane metabolism has highlighted their role in ecological contribution and biotechnological potential to serve as methane and nitrate sinks in the landfill sites.
