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

The discharge of azo dye-containing wastewater threatens soil microbial activity, plant growth, and ecosystem health because of the persistence and toxicity of synthetic dyes. However, the potential of immobilized siderophore-producing bacteria for simultaneous dye decolorization and mitigation of dye-associated phytotoxicity remains unexplored. This study highlights the decolorization and bioremediation potential of viable free cells and calcium-alginate immobilized Bacillus subtilis SC 9 against brilliant red (BR) dye. Among ten previously identified siderophore producing bacteria (SPB), B. subtilis SC 9 exhibited the highest decolorization efficiency (88.5%). Under optimized conditions, free and immobilized cells achieved 88.5% and 94.86% decolorization, respectively, within 9 days. FTIR and GC-MS analyses confirmed structural transformation of BR dye into simpler degradation intermediates, indicating biodegradation rather than adsorption. Greenhouse studies demonstrated that immobilized B. subtilis SC9 alleviated BR dye phytotoxicity by increasing root length (142.16%), shoot length (160.91%), soil dehydrogenase activity (192.37 µg TPF g
