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

Introduction: Polystyrene (PS) is a petroleum-based polymer with a recalcitrant structure. Along with the increasing demand, its accumulation in the environment is evident, leading to societal and ecosystemic issues. Therefore, research has focused on strategies for PS biodegradation. Certain insect larvae have been reported to use PS as a carbon source, which depends on their gut microbiota. In this context, we investigated the biodegradation ability of bacteria from the gut of the Methods: Larvae of Results: From the five strains isolated from the enrichment, a Discussion: The topographical and chemical modifications, together with the changes in molecular weight, provide evidence that the
