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

Considering the dangerous effects on the environment of commonly used packaging materials like low-density polyethylene (LDPE), finding a practical and environmentally safe method for decomposing plastics is crucial. In this study, a bacterial strain (HMBC3) was identified in plastic-contaminated soil samples from eastern Saudi Arabia and showed potential for breaking down LDPE, as revealed by results from weight loss, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). HMBC3 was discovered among bacterial isolates in a mineral nutritional medium (MNM) enhanced with LDPE as the only carbon and energy source. The strain caused changes in the media pH from 7.0 ± 0.03 to 6.23 ± 0.05, while the LDPE also showed 20.4% weight loss. In addition, the 16S rRNA gene similarities revealed a 98.9% homology between HMBC3 and
