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

A bacterial community with atrazine-degrading capability, designated Y9, was enriched from cool-temperate farmland soil having a long-term atrazine (ATZ) application history. Under optimized culture conditions, Y9 degraded 98.62% of 50 mg/L ATZ within 8 h, with a half-life of only 2.02 h. A metabolomic analysis revealed that Y9 metabolizes ATZ to cyanuric acid via the synergistic cooperation of dechlorination-hydrolysis and oxidative dealkylation pathways. In soil remediation experiments, Y9 degraded 70% of 50 mg/kg ATZ within 1 day and achieved complete degradation within 14 days. Pot experiments demonstrated that soil remediated by Y9 alleviated the phytotoxic effects of ATZ on soybean, with plant growth indices and physiological functions recovering to normal levels. This study provides a bacterial community resource and theoretical basis for the bioremediation of ATZ-contaminated soil.
