Morphogenesis and evolution mechanisms of bacterially-induced struvite.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Bacteria are able to induce struvite precipitation, and modify struvite morphology, leading to the mineral with various growth habits. However, the relevant work involving the morphogenesis is limited, thereby obstructing our understanding of bacterially mediated struvite mineralization. Here, an actinomycete Microbacterium marinum sp. nov. H207 was chosen to study its effect on struvite morphology. A combination of bacterial mineralization and biomimetic mineralization techniques was adopted. The bacterial mineralization results showed that strain H207 could induce the formation of struvite with grouping structure (i.e., a small coffin-like crystal grown on a large trapezoid-like substrate crystal), and the overgrowth structure gradually disappeared, while the substrate crystal further evolved into coffin-like, and quadrangular tabular morphology with time. The biomimetic experiments with different organic components confirmed that the soluble macromolecules rich in electronegative carboxyl groups secreted by strain H207 dominate the formation of the struvite grouping. The time-course biomimetic experiments with supernatant testified that the increase in pH and NH
