A high throughput assay to detect enzymatic polyethylene oxidation.
Article in Biochemical engineering journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Biological plastics deconstruction and upcycling have emerged as sustainable alternatives to traditional recycling technologies for plastics waste. The discovery and engineering of efficient thermostable poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) hydrolases have made biological PET recycling possible at scale; however, enzymes for non-PET plastics, which account for approximately 70% of all plastics produced, remain largely undiscovered. To accelerate the discovery of such enzymes, we develop a high-throughput screen to detect initial polymer oxidation, specifically that of the C-H bond to an aldehyde. We test 4-hydrazino-7-nitro-2,1,3-benxoxadiozole hydrazine (NBD-H), which reacts with generated aldehydes to form a fluorescent hydrazone on plasma oxidized low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films. Hydrazone generation correlated well with the area of aldehyde peaks as measured by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) (R
