Bioconversion of Groundnut Oil into Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) by Bacillus Subtilis LO1.

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
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are synthesized by microorganisms as cytoplasmic biopolymers in response to nutritional starvation. These biopolymers have diverse applications because of their non-toxic and biodegradable nature and can be an effective alternative to conventional petrochemical polymers as they offer similar qualities. For this purpose, PHA-producing bacterium LO1 was isolated from lubricating oil contaminated soil and identified as Bacillus subtilis (MK071733). Furthermore, LO1 was found to be the most prominent PHA accumulating strain on groundnut oil as carbon source under optimized growth conditions. The optimum growth conditions for PHA synthesis was pH 7, temperature 35 °C, incubation period 72 h, inoculum size 4%, (v/v), groundnut oil 2%, (v/v), and ammonium sulfate 1.5%, (w/v) in mineral salt medium (MSM). Under these optimized conditions, 5.52 g/L of PHA cell dry weight (CDW) was obtained from 9.8 g/L of bacterial dry cell weight (DCW) through two-stage shake flask cultivation. Further, extracted PHA was characterized via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). These techniques confirmed the presence of mcl-PHA copolymers in the extracted polymer.
