Antibiotic: a boon to mankind and doom to the environment - an insight on biological and non-biological degradation processes.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Antibiotics are antimicrobial agents that are used to treat infections caused by pathogens. Antibiotics are released from various sources such as pharmaceutical industries, hospitals and municipal waste along with medical waste in higher concentrations. About 20% of the antibiotics are absorbed by humans or animals during metabolism upon consumption and excess is released into the environment through excretion. Frequent exposure of antibiotics on living organisms can develop resistance in host and its residues can have ill-effects on the environment including disturbance to the microbes in the ecosystem, and can also harm the non-target organisms. The current article summarizes the application of non-biological conventional treatment processes such as physical and chemical methods for the breakdown of antibiotics. However, these methods have limitations such as formation of secondary by-products and sludge alongside incomplete degradation. Therefore, application of biological methods for the degradation is considered to be highly effective due to their reduced toxicity. There are several microbes such as
