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

Reactive Black 5 (RB5) is a widely used azo dye in the textile industry that is highly toxic and harms both human health and the environment. The biofilm is a complex matrix comprising microorganisms and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Biofilm-based bioremediation is one of the most effective approaches for removing toxic RB5 from water. In this study, a biofilm-forming bacterial consortium comprising Bacillus tequilensis BS007 and Enterobacter mori BS008 was evaluated for treated RB5 dye. The consortium exhibited a specific growth rate (μ
