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

Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), one of the earliest and most extensively used synthetic insecticides, has become a persistent organic pollutant of global concern due to its high recalcitrance and hydrophobicity (resulting in its poor water solubility and long-term accumulation in soils and sediments). In this study, 207 bacterial strains were isolated from DDT-contaminated soils and screened for their ability to grow on DDT-containing media. Among them, 10 strains exhibited remarkable tolerance and growth, with strain T006 showing the highest potential for DDT degradation. Further experiments demonstrated that T006 exhibited strong and progressive DDT-degrading activity, removing over 70% of DDT within 8 weeks of culture. Comprehensive phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and genome-based analyses - including 16S rRNA gene and
