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
Crude oil pollution in soil poses a serious global risk to food production and ecosystem health. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxic organic compounds found in crude oil and pose health and ecosystem risks. In this study, we assessed the efficiency of indigenous Syrian fungal and bacterial isolates to biodegrade PAHs. To evaluate bioremediation potential, eighteen isolates were isolated, identified, and tested against 28 detected PAHs. The fungal isolates Aspergillus niger, Penicillium sp., and Cladosporium sp. exhibited chromatic change rates (CCR) of 82.2%, 87.3%, and 89.0%, respectively, and their combinations reached CCR of 93.7 ± 1.8%. Key bacterial isolates, including Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus sp., and Micrococcus sp., demonstrated effectiveness ranging from 77.3 to 78% individually, and 90.7% for consortium. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis confirmed substantial reductions in crude oil components after biodegradation. These results demonstrated the value of indigenous microbes for bioremediation. This study is the first combined bacterial-fungal study of PAHs biodegradation in Syria, supporting the use of local isolates to enhance food security and environmental health. This would help decision makers to think about using eco-friendly strategies for PAHs remediation.
