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

Diesel oil is a fossil fuel widely utilized globally and a significant source of environmental contamination. Its presence poses substantial ecological challenges. Bioremediation emerges as a viable solution for restoring diesel-contaminated environments, contingent upon comprehending the local microbiota. This study employed a metabarcoding technique with a culture-dependent approach to assess the impact of hydrocarbon contamination on soil microbiota. Soil samples were collected from contaminated areas, and microbial diversity was assessed through relative abundance, alpha, and beta diversity analyses. Additionally, bacterial strains isolated from the same area were screened for their ability to degrade hydrocarbons. Four strains, Pseudomonas nitroreducens B32, Pseudomonas koreensis B11, Ralstonia sp. BC2, and Acinetobacter sp. BC3 could degrade up to 38% of the diesel, using it as the sole carbon source. These strains effectively degraded n-alkanes and cyclic alkanes with short and medium chains (C7 to C18). This research enhances the understanding of hydrocarbons' impacts on soil microbiota and underscores the potential application of microorganisms in bioremediation efforts.
