Bioaccumulation of heavy metals by green algae.
Article in Current microbiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The biosorption of metal ions (Cr(+3), Cr(2)O(7)(-2), Cu(+2), and Ni(+2)) on two algal blooms (designated HD-103 and HD-104) collected locally was investigated as a function of the initial metal ion concentration. The main constituent of HD-103 is Cladophora sp., while Spirulina sp. is present significantly in the bloom HD-104. Algal biomass HD-103 exhibited the highest Cu(+2) uptake capacity (819 mg/g). This bloom adsorbed Ni(+2) (504 mg/g), Cr(+3) (347 mg/g), and Cr(2)O(7)(-2), (168 mg/g). Maximum of Ni(+2) (1108 mg/g) is taken by HD-104. This species takes up 306, 202, and 576 mg/g Cr(+3), Cr(2)O(7)(-2), and Cu(+2), respectively. Equilibrium data fit very well to both the Langmuir and the Freundlich isotherm models. The sorption process followed the Freundlich model better. Pseudo-first-order kinetic model could describe the kinetic data. Infrared (IR) spectroscopic data were employed to identify the site(s) of bonding. It was found that phosphate and peptide moieties participate in the metal uptake by bloom HD-103. In the case of bloom HD-104, carboxylate and phosphate are responsible for the metal uptake. The role of protein in metal uptake by HD-103 was investigated using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
