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

Benzophenone (BZP) is a persistent environmental pollutant that can induce serious negative effects on the human health and aquatic life. Because of its hydrophobic nature and resistance to natural degradation, it tends to bioaccumulate in the aquatic ecosystem. The present study was aimed at developing an efficient bioremediation system for the degradation of BZP in wastewater. A total of 150 bacterial strains were isolated from wastewater collected from the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan. Approximately 86% of the isolates were identified in samples of municipal wastewater, and 14% were isolated in the effluent of soap industries. The potential of the isolated strains was assessed for the degradation of BZP. Based on the initial screening, only 3.3% of the isolates were able to produce biomass at different concentrations (10-1000 mg L
