Construction of microbial systems for polyethylene terephthalate degradation.
Review in Synthetic and systems biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the most widely used plastic materials, and its large-scale application has caused severe environmental pollution. Compared to traditional physical and chemical degradation methods, biological degradation is considered the most promising approach. In this context, this review starts with the current research status of PET plastic microbial degradation. Then, it summarizes the construction of strains for heterologous expression of PET-degrading enzymes, the development status of whole-cell catalysts, the innovative ideas of microbial consortia and microorganism-enzyme systems, and the application development of microorganism-functional material systems. In addition, this review includes the use of multiple characterization methods to monitor the degradation effects of PET and changes in strain characteristics, providing theoretical evidence for PET degradation research. Finally, the researches on valorization of PET degradation monomers through synthetic biology are discussed, underscoring the potential of microbial degradation in PET waste upcycling.
