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

Pseudomonas, a cornerstone genus in petroleum hydrocarbon bioremediation, exhibits remarkable metabolic diversity. To systematically decipher the genetic basis of this trait, we constructed a curated collection of representative Pseudomonas strains with documented degradation capabilities through a bibliometrics-driven approach. Comparative genomic analysis revealed that these strains possess a rich repertoire of genes linked to petroleum hydrocarbon degradation, including those encoding key enzymes such as monooxygenases, dioxygenases, alcohol dehydrogenases, cytochrome P450, ferredoxins, and regulatory proteins (e.g., LuxR, AraC, GntR). Among the strains examined, P. citronellolis and P. putida contained the highest abundance of such genes. The accessory genome size varied considerably across the 15 strains (ranging from 3290 to 5745 genes), and functional enrichment analysis indicated a significant concentration of degradation-related genes within this component. This genomic architecture not only reflects distinct metabolic specialisations among species but also implies potential synergistic interactions, as suggested by the broader genetic accessibility to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degradation pathways observed in P. aeruginosa, P. luteola, and P. putida. Overall, this study establishes a robust genomic framework that extends beyond single-species analysis, offering a genus-level perspective essential for designing tailored, high-efficiency microbial consortia for targeted bioremediation strategies.
