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

Used engine oil is considered a major environmental concern due to difficulty in disposal or reuse. Using enrichment method, nine bacterial strains were isolated from the oil contaminated sites in Abbottabad. The NMD strain was considered the best biosurfactant producing strain, having the highest emulsification index and cell hydrophobicity up to 72% and 67% respectively. Based on morphology and 16S rRNA sequence analysis, the isolate was identified as Enterobacter hormaechei strain NMD. The effect of various factors which may influence the biodegradation rate including pH, incubation temperature and oil concentration were evaluated by response surface methodology with Box-Behnken design. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that regression coefficient (R
