Bioleaching of critical metals from waste OLED touch screens using adapted acidophilic bacteria.
Article in Journal of environmental health science & engineering, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 mobile phone is a fast-growing E-waste stream that includes hazardous substances and valuable metals. Smartphone touch screens (SPTS) contain a considerable amount of critical metals, such as indium and strontium that can be recovered from end of life devices as a secondary resource. Bioleaching is an emerging and environmentally friendly method for metal recovery from electronic waste. In the present study, bioleaching was assessed for the extraction of indium and strontium from organic light emitting diode type smartphone touch screens. A statistical approach based on the response surface methodology was successfully applied. The effects of influential variables: pH, ferrous sulfate, elemental sulfur, and solid content and their interactions on indium and strontium recovery using adapted
