The phototrophic purple non-sulfur bacteria Rhodomicrobium spp. are novel chassis for bioplastic production.
Article in Microbial biotechnology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Petroleum-based plastics levy significant environmental and economic costs that can be alleviated with sustainably sourced, biodegradable, and bio-based polymers such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). However, industrial-scale production of PHAs faces barriers stemming from insufficient product yields and high costs. To address these challenges, we must look beyond the current suite of microbes for PHA production and investigate non-model organisms with versatile metabolisms. In that vein, we assessed PHA production by the photosynthetic purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) Rhodomicrobium vannielii and Rhodomicrobium udaipurense. We show that both species accumulate PHA across photo-heterotrophic, photo-hydrogenotrophic, photo-ferrotrophic, and photo-electrotrophic growth conditions, with either ammonium chloride (NH
