Exploring the Potential and Evaluating Hydrocarbon Degradation by Novel Antarctic Dietzia and Pusillimonas Isolates From a Pristine Environment.
Article in Environmental microbiology reports, 2026. 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
This study evaluated the bioremediation potential of two psychrotolerant strains, Pusillimonas sp. ANT_WB101 and Dietzia sp. ANT_WB102, isolated from an uncontaminated water pond. Comparative analysis indicated affinities with P. gingsengisoli/soli and D. kunjamensis/maris. Both strains demonstrated substantial crude oil degradation efficiency, achieving ≥ 79% under aerobic conditions and ≥ 34% under anaerobic conditions. Genomic analysis identified crucial genes involved in crude oil degradation, including alkane monooxygenase, cytochrome P450, and polyphenol monooxygenase. These strains displayed adaptability to a wide range of environmental factors, such as pH (4-11), salinity (up to 6%-9%), temperature (4°C-37°C), resistance to freeze-thaw cycles, and tolerance to high crude oil concentration. Biosafety evaluations indicated the sensitivity of the strains to various antibiotics, ensuring their suitability and safety for environmental applications. At low temperature, these strains increased microbial activity in environmental samples (1.34 times in biological oxygen demand compared to the control) and showed effective biodegradation (~39%). In conclusion, the study highlights the potential of ANT_WB101 and ANT_WB102 for treating contaminated sites and indicates the possible challenges of using microorganisms not initially adapted to site-specific conditions in bioremediation efforts.
