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

The synthetic polymer low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a pervasive pollutant that poses serious environmental concerns and health hazards. PE plastic is rarely recycled, and therefore, biodegradation is a novel approach for managing PE plastic waste. However, few enzymes and organisms that degrade PE plastic have been identified to date. Herein, we demonstrate that a consortium of soil bacteria containing
