Biodegradation of Benzo(a)pyrene in Contaminated Soil: Plant and Microorganism Contributions from Isotope Tracing.

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
Biological degradation effectively removes benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) from contaminated soil; however, knowledge regarding the contributions of plant absorption, microbial degradation, and volatilization to BaP removal remains limited. In this study, the BaP removal pathway in contaminated soil was investigated. The structural evolution of the microbial community in contaminated soil was revealed using a comparative experimental study. BaP, as a representative of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, was removed from freshly contaminated soil by microbial degradation, plant absorption, and volatilization in proportions of 20.955%, 12.771%, and 0.005%, respectively. The proportions of BaP removed by microbial degradation, plant absorption, and volatilization in aged contaminated soil were 29.471%, 16.453%, and 0.004%. Microbial degradation was the most responsible mechanism for BaP removal. Moreover, a higher number of BaP degrading bacteria occurred in the aged contaminated soil. At the genus level,
