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

This study evaluates an integrated bioaugmentation-biostimulation strategy for carbofuran remediation using Ochrobactrum intermedium formulated as water-dispersible granules (WDGs) in combination with biogas slurry (BGS). In minimal salt medium, O. intermedium degraded 92.2% of 100 mg L⁻¹ carbofuran within 120 h (k = 0.69 day⁻¹; t₁/₂ = 1 day). GC-MS identified carbofuran-7-phenol and monoethyl phthalate as key intermediates. The WDGs retained > 80% viability and ~ 94% degradation efficiency after six months at 30 °C. In aqueous systems, BGS enhanced WDG activity, enabling 99% degradation within 120 h. In soil microcosms, WDGs + BGS (T5) achieved 92.4% degradation in 30 days (t₁/₂ = 8.04 days), outperforming WDGs alone (61%, t₁/₂ = 21.7 days), BGS alone (42%, t₁/₂ = 38.5 days), and control (26%). The combined treatment also improved microbial persistence, soil nutrients, and tomato growth, with no phytotoxic effects. Overall, coupling microbial formulations with organic amendments provides a robust and sustainable solution for remediating carbofuran-contaminated soils.
