Mechanisms Underlying Efficient n-Eicosane Degradation and Physiological Adaptation in Rhodococcus erythropolis KB1.
Article in Journal of basic microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Low temperature limits microbial remediation of petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated environments, yet the physiological basis for long-chain alkane degradation under cold stress remains insufficiently understood. In this study, Rhodococcus erythropolis KB1 was cultured with n-eicosane as the sole carbon source at 4°C, 16°C, and 30°C for 5, 10, and 15 days. Degradation performance, growth-associated traits, surface tension, membrane permeability, redox-energy metabolism, key enzyme activities, and putative GC-MS signals were evaluated. KB1 showed the highest n-eicosane degradation efficiency at 30°C, reaching 86.84 ± 0.21% by Day 15, accompanied by enhanced biomass accumulation, protein content, cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CYP450) activity, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) contents, and Na
