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 widespread use and environmental persistence of polyethylene (PE) have led to a global pollution crisis, which is intensified by its fragmentation into hazardous micro- and nanoplastics. Although bioremediation using polymer-degrading microbes presents a sustainable alternative, only a limited microbes have been identified, primarily due to the challenges of culturing potential degraders in the laboratory. We isolated two P. aeruginosa strains (SKD-SD-3171 and SS-SD-7780) from urban waste disposal areas and comparatively evaluated their PE degrading efficacy, over 120 days. Both strains utilized PE as a carbon source, as confirmed by weight loss (24.53±0.35% for P. aeruginosa SKD-SD-3171 and 22.50±0.35% for P. aeruginosa SS-SD-7780), polymer reduction rate (K=0.00235 day
