Recent advances in synthetic biology-enabled and natural whole-cell optical biosensing of heavy metals.
Review in Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
A large number of scientific works have been published on whole-cell heavy metal biosensing based on optical transduction. The advances in the application of biotechnological tools not only have continuously improved the sensitivity, selectivity, and detection range for biosensors but also have simultaneously unveiled new challenges and restrictions for further improvements. This review highlights selected aspects of whole-cell biosensing of heavy metals using optical transducers. We have focused on the progress in genetic modulation in regulatory and reporter modules of recombinant plasmids that has enabled improvement of biosensor performance. Simultaneously, an attempt has been made to present newer platforms such as microfluidics that have generated promising results and might give a new turn to the optical biosensing field.
