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

This study investigated the application of mixed biofilms formed by two Pseudomonas strains (NAA22 and NAA23) for bio-decolorization of malachite green (MG) dye. The isolated strains displayed biofilm formation and MG decolorization capabilities. Mixed biofilms exhibited significantly greater biofilm formation and MG decolorization (94.3%) compared to individual strains, suggesting synergistic interactions. This decolorization efficiency surpassed previously reported values for single strain decolorization. The mixed biofilms tolerated a broad range of temperatures (20-40 °C) and pH (5-9), with optimal decolorization at neutral or slightly acidic conditions (pH7.0). Enzyme analysis revealed laccase, NADH-DCIP reductase, and azoreductase as key contributors to MG decolorization, with significantly higher activity in mixed biofilms. Importantly, the bio-decolorization process transformed MG into non-phytotoxic compounds, demonstrated by seed germination and growth assays. These findings propose a promising and environmentally safe approach for MG bioremediation using mixed Pseudomonas biofilms.
