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

Sulfonamide antibiotics are widely used in medicine and farming and residual amounts end up in wastewater effluents and solids applied as fertilizers in agriculture. Residues could promote antibiotic resistance propagation, especially during activated sludge treatment. We previously reported as a proof of concept that Nitratidesulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough (NvH) (formerly Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough) can transform the sulfonamide antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX) anaerobically. Here, we studied in detail the influence of SMX on the physiology of NvH, the effect of different electron donors on SMX transformation, and the stability of the transformation products (TPs) under anoxic and oxic conditions. SMX transformation was catalyzed by resting cells and no difference was observed between acclimated and non-acclimated cells. Higher SMX transformation activity was observed with higher initial SMX concentrations and with younger cultures in exponential phase. SMX transformation was supported in the presence of lactate, and slowed down when lactate was depleted. When lactate was replaced with H
