Application of microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation in designing bio self-healing concrete.
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 18 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
Concrete is one of the most broadly used construction materials in the world due to its number of performance characteristics. Despite the long life of concrete structure under ideal conditions, it tends to crack and this phenomenon results in a considerable reduction in service life and performance. Evidence of microbial involvement in the precipitation of minerals has led to a massive investigation on adapting this technology for addressing the concrete cracking issue. Calcium carbonate is one of most compatible materials with the concrete constituents and it can be induced via biological process. In this review paper, the effects of different factors, such as nucleation site, pH, nutrient and temperature, on the biosynthesis of calcium carbonate are elucidated. Moreover, the influences of effective factors on calcium carbonate polymorphism are extensively elaborated. Finally, the limitations for the future application of this innovative technology in construction industry are highlighted.
