Functional dynamics and interactions within the bacterial community responsible for biodegradable plastic degradation during aerobic composting.
Article in Biodegradation, 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
Though biodegradable plastics have been widely developed as sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based plastics, their degradation behavior and microbial interactions in composting environments remain insufficiently understood. In this study, the degradation characteristics of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), polylactic acid (PLA), polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), and polybutylene succinate (PBS), and the interactions between bacterial communities and functional genes, were evaluated in a 41-day aerobic composting system using anaerobically digested sewage sludge as substrate. Composting parameters were similarly affected by all biodegradable plastics, and the final compost reached a Solvita compost maturity index of 8.0 with no detectable pathogenic bacteria and a CO
