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

Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA), the main active ingredient of the bio-fungicide shenqinmycin, has been widely used in agriculture due to its excellent antimicrobial properties. However, it poses risks to non-target microorganisms and causes phytotoxicity, necessitating efficient degradation strategies. In this study, six PCA-degrading bacterial strains were isolated from the rice rhizosphere by enrichment culture. Subsequently, Rhodococcus sp. WH103, which showed the highest efficiency in degrading PCA as well as tolerance to high temperature (42 °C) and osmotic stress (addition of 0.7 M NaCl) was subjected to further study. Additionally, the co-immobilization of strain WH103 cells with sodium alginate (SA) and biochar was explored. The SA-biochar-bacterial beads successfully degraded PCA to below 0.001 mM under optimized conditions within 21 h and exhibited reusability for up to 12 cycles. Notably, the SA-biochar-bacterial beads significantly alleviated the phytotoxicity of PCA during seed germination. This study provides an excellent strain resource and method reference for PCA degradation, lays the foundation for the practical application of pollutant-degrading microorganisms in environmental remediation.
