Professional Dyeing Work Enriches Dye-decolorizing Bacteria in the Fingertip Microbiome.
Article in Microbes and environments, 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
Individuals who regularly handle specific chemicals may harbor microorganisms capable of metabolizing those compounds. Such hands may therefore provide a practical route for obtaining functional microorganisms from easily accessible human-associated environments. In this study, we found that nearly 90% of professional dyers harbored dye-decolorizing bacteria, which were efficiently isolated from their fingertips, with 20% of isolates exhibiting decolorizing activity. These strains showed distinct genus-level profiles. These findings indicate that occupational exposure to dyes strongly enriches dye-decolorizing bacteria, suggesting that the hands of textile workers may serve as a source for isolating microorganisms with potential applications in dye bioremediation.
