2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid herbicide degradation by isolated bacterial species from termite mound soil in Ethiopia.

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
2,4-dichloro phenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) is an ionizable herbicide; its residues are only minimally maintained by soil components, and they readily pollute surface and ground water. For these reasons, microbe-mediated biodegradation is a practical method to remove 2,4-D residues from polluted environments. In the current study, 5 different termite mound soil bacterial isolates capable of utilizing 2,4-D as their sole carbon and energy source were isolated by soil enrichment on minimal salt medium (MSM) containing 2,4-D. A one promising bacterial isolate was selected and identified as Enterobacter cloacae, based on biochemical characteristics and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The growth studies conducted on Enterobacter cloacae reveal that it can thrive within a broad pH range of 2 to 6 and a temperature range of 15 to 45 °C. However, the optimal conditions for its growth over a 24-hour period were observed at a pH of 3.5 and a temperature of 25 °C. Furthermore, adding Enterobacter cloacae with an inoculum size of 1 ml (3 × 10
