Isolation and purification of esterase enzyme from marine bacteria associated with biodegradation of polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
Article in Biodegradation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the third most produced synthetic plastic and releases the most harmful and lethal environmental component after incineration and landfilling. Few studies on microbial degradation of PVC have been reported but very little knowledge about the enzymes. In the present study, esterase enzyme was isolated and partially purified from marine bacterial isolates (T-1.3, BP-4.3 and S-237 identified as Vibrio sp., Alteromonas sp., and Cobetia sp., respectively) having the capability of PVC degradation. Initially, a plate assay was carried out for testing esterase production by studying bacteria using 1-naphthyl acetate as substrate. Enzyme assay showed higher production of esterase i.e. 0.57 U mL
