Inorganic polyphosphates and heavy metal resistance in microorganisms.
Review in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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 mechanisms of heavy metal resistance in microbial cells involve multiple pathways. They include the formation of complexes with specific proteins and other compounds, the excretion from the cells via plasma membrane transporters in case of procaryotes, and the compartmentalization of toxic ions in vacuoles, cell wall and other organelles in case of eukaryotes. The relationship between heavy metal tolerance and inorganic polyphosphate metabolism was demonstrated both in prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms. Polyphosphates, being polyanions, are involved in detoxification of heavy metals through complex formation and compartmentalization. The bacteria and fungi cultivated in the presence of some heavy metal cations contain the enhanced levels of polyphosphate. In bacteria, polyphosphate sequesters heavy metals; some of metal cations stimulate an exopolyphosphatase activity, which releases phosphate from polyphosphates, and MeHPO
