Biomolecular Analysis of Arctic Microorganisms Capable of Psychrophilic Growth on Biodegradable and Compostable Plastic.
Article in Journal of biomolecular techniques : JBT, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
As climate change continues to disrupt the polar regions of our planet, a comprehensive understanding of both phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of naturally occurring psychrophilic microorganisms is needed, not only from a microbial profiling and taxonomic aspect but also from an industrial potential standpoint. Knowing and understanding the organisms that have the genetic potential to break down environmental contaminants, such as microplastics, is of great interest. In this research, the primary focus was to isolate and characterize the psychrophilic microorganisms from a snow field near Ilulissat, Greenland and use a multi-omics approach to identify and characterize the biodegradation potential against certain biodegradable plastics. Bacterial stains isolated from Greenland were inoculated into small individual bioreactor tubes containing a minimal salts media combined with either polylactic acid or the proprietary Novamont material used in compostable bags. After 4 weeks of incubations at 6°C, turbidity (growth) was measured, and DNA and RNA were extracted and sequenced to identify putative plastic-degrading genes and biosynthetic gene clusters and determine if they are actively expressed in culture conditions. Cultured bacteria comprise 3 genera of bacteria:
