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

Mangroves are highly productive coastal ecosystems, yet they are heavily exposed to pollution by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), particularly high-molecular-weight compounds such as pyrene and fluoranthene. These recalcitrant contaminants exhibit high toxicity and persist in the environment, threatening microbial biodiversity and the ecological stability of sediments. This study aims to assess the biodegradation potential of pyrene and fluoranthene in contaminated mangrove sediments by comparing the efficiency of the indigenous microflora with that of exogenous strains (Rhodococcus erythropolis and Bacillus subtilis), and to optimize degradation through bioaugmentation and biostimulation using nutrient amendments. Sediments were artificially spiked with 10,000 mg·kg⁻
