Biodegradation of Di-2-Ethylhexyl Phthalate by Mangrove Sediment Microbiome Impacted by Chronic Plastic Waste.

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
Plastic pollution through the leaching of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a widely used plasticizer, has led to the emergence of mangrove pollution. This study aimed to assess the DEHP removal efficiency of indigenous mangrove sediment microbiomes and identify key DEHP degraders using microcosm construction and metagenomic analysis. During the 35-day incubation period, the indigenous mangrove sediment microbiome, affected by chronic plastic pollution, demonstrated a 99% degradation efficiency of 200 mg/kg DEHP. Spearman's correlation analysis suggested that Myxococcales, Methyloligellaceae, Mycobacterium, and Micromonospora were potentially responsible for DEHP degradation. Based on PICRUSt2, the DEHP-degrading pathway in the sediment was predicted to be an anaerobic process involving catechol metabolism through catC, pcaD, pcaI, pcaF, and fadA. Efficient bacterial isolates from the mangrove sediment, identified as Gordonia sp. and Gordonia polyisoprenivorans, were able to degrade DEHP (65-97%) within 7 days and showed the ability to degrade other phthalate esters (PAEs).
