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

Thermochemical washing of oily sludge is a highly effective strategy for resource recovery. However, the lingering petroleum components within washed sludge still pose considerable environmental pollution risks. In this study, high-temperature bioaugmentation technology was used to promote the removal of petroleum components, and the potential of this technology in the deep treatment of washed oily sludge was investigated, specifically petroleum component degradation and microbial community regulation. The results showed that the petroleum degradation performance was greatly enhanced by the introduction of thermophilic bacteria combined with 200 mg/kg of biosurfactant (T2 group). Under these conditions, the petroleum and moisture contents were successfully reduced to 19.6 g/kg and 4%, respectively. In particular, the contents of n-alkanes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the T2 group decreased significantly to 1098.5 and 494.3 mg/kg, respectively, relative to the blank group (4428.5 and 850.7 mg/kg). High-throughput sequencing results indicated that exogenous thermophilic bacteria (
