Perspectives on the microorganisms with the potentials of PET-degradation.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a widely used synthetic polymer in daily life, has become a major source of post-consumer waste due to its complex molecular structure and resistance to natural degradation, which has posed a significant threat to the global ecological environment and human health. Current PET-processing methods include physical, chemical, and biological approaches, however each have their limitations. Given that numerous microbial strains exhibit a remarkable capacity to degrade plastic materials, microbial degradation of PET has emerged as a highly promising alternative. This approach not only offers the possibility of converting waste into valuable resources but also contributes to the advancement of a circular economy. Therefore in this review, it is mainly focused on the cutting-edge microbial technologies and the key role of specific microbial strains such as
