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

Naphthalene (Nap) is widely distributed in the environment and has attracted concern due to its recalcitrance to biodegradation and acute toxic effects. Although several laccases can degrade naphthalene, it remains unclear whether laccase is involved in dioxygenation or ring fission of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We demonstrated that laccase has a naphthalene dioxygenase function with a distinct joint approach to oxygen and the alternative regioselective ring-fission process. These results supplement the family of dioxygenase with laccase, a mild method for the ring opening of aromatics, and an operable scale-up application for remediation from PAH pollution and for regioselective oxygenation and ring opening.
