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 long-term accumulation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in marine environments may drive the evolution of microbial degradation capabilities, positioning the ocean as a valuable reservoir for discovering novel PET-degrading microorganisms. In this study, we isolated 305 marine-derived microorganisms with potential PET-degrading capability from samples collected from mangrove areas of Zhanjiang and the intertidal zones of Daya Bay, Shenzhen, China, using PET powder as a major carbon source. Subsequent evaluation of degradation performance via scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis identified 14 isolates capable of degrading PET film. These 14 strains belonged to 14 distinct species, none of which, to the best of our knowledge, has been previously documented as PET degraders. Among them,
