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

Microbial degradation of phthalate esters (PAEs) is regarded as a highly promising green remediation strategy for PAE-contamination, but it still remains constrained by the scarcity of efficient microbial resources capable of degrading PAEs completely under complex conditions. This study systematically explored microbial resources resistant to dimethyl phthalate (DMP)/dibutyl phthalate (DBP) stress along with the putative degradation mechanisms in recycled plastic sewage treatment plants through high-throughput sequencing, DMP/DBP-degrading bacteria screening, and whole-genome sequencing of representative efficient DBP-degrading strains. High-throughput sequencing result revealed substantial enrichment of PAEs-degrading bacteria in activated sludge exposed to 500 mg L
