Biosorption of heavy metals by dry biomass of metal tolerant bacterial biosorbents: an efficient metal clean-up strategy.
Article in Environmental monitoring and assessment, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Heavy metals discharge at an unrestrained rate from various industries into the environment pose serious human health problems. Considering this, the present study aimed at exploring the metal biosorbing potentials of bacterial strains recovered from polluted soils. The bacterial strains (CPSB1, BM2 and CAZ3) belonging to genera Pseudomonas, Bacillus and Azotobacter expressing multi-metal tolerance ability were identified to species level as P. aeruginosa, B. subtilis and A. chroococcum, respectively, by 16S rRNA partial gene sequence analysis. The biosorption of cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, lead and zinc by three dead bacterial genera were studied as a function of metal concentration, variable pH of the medium and reaction (contact) time. The three bacterial strains exhibited a tremendous metal removal ability which continued even at the highest tested concentration of some metals. Later, a decline in the percentage of biosorbed metals was recorded as the metal concentration was increased with the simultaneous generation of a driving force to overcome mass transfer resistance for movement of metal ions between the solution and the surface of adsorbent. Among test bacteria, B. subtilis biosorbed a maximum of 96% chromium at 25 μg mL
