Metal and metalloid immobilization by microbiologically induced carbonates precipitation.
Review in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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 industrialization and growth of human population has increased the release and accumulation of metals and metalloids in the environment. Bioaccumulation and exposure to these elements have been associated with different types of diseases and cancer, thus looking for alternatives that decrease their bioavailability in the environment is crucial. Microbiologically induced carbonates precipitation (MICP) has been proposed as a potential bioremediation method to immobilize contaminating metals and metalloids. Studies published to date have mainly used ureolytic bacteria, reporting metal(loid)s removal percentages up to 100% for some toxic elements, thus demonstrating the effectiveness of this treatment. Various genera of bacteria, particularly Gram-positive, have been reported with MICP abilities. More recently, fungi have also been proposed as a viable alternative for the removal of these toxic elements by carbonate precipitation. This mini-review presents updated information about the main studies carried out to date using different types of microorganisms that perform MICP to decrease the environmental bioavailability of toxic metals and metalloids through the formation of metallic carbonates.
