Biological leaching of rare earth elements.
Review in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 distinctive physico-chemical features of rare earth elements (REEs) have led to an increase in demand by the global market due to their multiple uses in industrial, medical and agricultural implementations. However, the scarcity of REEs and the harsh eco-unfriendly leaching processes from primary sources beside obliviousness to their recycling from secondary sources, together with the geopolitical situation, have created the need to develop a more sustainable mining strategy. Therefore, there is a growing interest in bio-hydrometallurgy, which may contribute to the scavenging of these strategic elements from low-grade resources in an environmentally friendly and economically feasible way as with copper and gold. Several prokaryotes and eukaryotes show the ability to leach REEs, however, the success in employing these microorganisms or their products in this process relays on several biotic and abiotic factors. This review focuses on the differences made by microorganisms in REEs leaching and fundamentally explains microbes-REEs interaction.
