Microbial Community and Enzymes for Biodeterioration of PVC Plastic Buried in Soil and Compost Environment.
Article in Current 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
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic films accumulate in the environment and cause ecological damage due to their persistent, high-density polymeric nature. To mitigate PVC pollution, a sustainable bioremediation approach needs to be designed. Biodegradation of PVC using pure bacterial cultures has been reported as a sustainable option. However, PVC biodegradation studies in the presence of a soil/compost indigenous microbiome have not been conducted. In the present study, attempts have been made to understand and show the biodeterioration and biodegradation of PVC under soil and compost burial conditions. The study revealed that the PVC films, when buried under soil and compost at different conditions (ambient, sun-exposed, and 37 °C conditions), resulted in gravimetric weight loss with CO
