Asphaltene biodegradation and transcriptome responses of hydrocarbon degradation genes in soil by a novel tolerant fungal consortium.

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.
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
Soil contamination with petroleum asphaltenes represents a critical environmental hazard due to their recalcitrant nature and their potential long-term adverse effects on ecosystems, plants, animals, and human health. Bioremediation using microbial consortia capable of degrading heavy hydrocarbons offers a promising strategy for the efficient removal of asphaltenes from contaminated soils. This study aimed to develop a novel fungal consortium highly tolerant to asphaltenes for the bioremediation of contaminated soils and evaluate transcriptional responses during asphaltene degradation. The consortium, composed of Aspergillus oryzae, Penicillium citrinum, and Aspergillus sydowii, was evaluated in microcosm systems containing asphaltene-contaminated soil, and transcriptomic analyses were conducted to assess gene activity. Bioremediation assays revealed that the consortium not only removed but also mineralized asphaltenes, achieving a degradation of up to 55.6 wt% of 5000 mg of asphaltenes kg
