Bioaccumulation of Arsenic by Engineered Escherichia coli Cells Expressing Rice Metallothionein Isoforms.
Article in Current microbiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Metallothioneins (MTs) are low-molecular weight cysteine (Cys)-rich proteins with high metal-binding capacity. Based on the Cys arrangement in their amino acid sequences, plant MTs are categorized into four classes. This study evaluated the ability of genetically engineered Escherichia coli cells, which express four rice MT isoforms as fusion proteins with glutathione-S-transferase (GST), to remove arsenic. As compared with control strain, the expression of GST-OsMT1, GST-OsMT2, GST-OsMT3, and GST-OsMT4 resulted in 8-, 5.6-, 3-, and 1.1-fold-higher As
