Biofilm-Mediated Heavy Metal Removal from Aqueous System by Multi-Metal-Resistant Bacterial Strain Bacillus sp. GH-s29.
Article in Applied biochemistry and biotechnology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Worldwide ever-augmenting urbanization, modernization, and industrialization have contributed to the release of pernicious compounds and a variety of pollutants into the environment. The pollutants discharged due to industrialization are of global concern. Industrial waste and effluent are comprised of hazardous organic and inorganic chemicals including heavy metals which pose a significant threat to the environment and may bring about numerous diseases or abnormalities in human beings. This brings on greater urgency for remediation of these polluted soil and water using sustainable approaches and mechanisms. In the present research, a multi-metal-resistant, gram-positive, non-virulent bacterial strain Bacillus sp. GH-s29 was isolated from contaminated groundwater of Bhojpur district, Bihar, India. The strain had the potential to develop a biofilm that was able to remediate different heavy metals [arsenic, cadmium, and chromium] from individual and multi-heavy metal solutions. Maximum removal for As (V), Cd (II), and Cr (VI) from individual-metal and the multi-metal solution was observed to be 73.65%, 57.37%, 61.62%, and 48.92%, 28.7%, and 35.46%, respectively. SEM-EDX analysis revealed the sequestration of multi-heavy metals by bacterial biofilm. Further characterization by FTIR analysis ensured that the presence of negatively charged functional groups on the biofilm-EPS such as hydroxyl, phosphate, sulfate, and carboxyl helps in binding to the positively charged metal ions. Thus, Bacillus sp. GH-s29 proved to be an effective and economical alternative for different heavy metal remediation from contaminated sites.
