Heavy metal co-resistance with antibiotics amongst bacteria isolates from an open dumpsite soil.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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 metal co-resistance with antibiotics appears to be synergistic in bacterial isolates via similar mechanisms. This synergy has the potential to amplify antibiotics resistance genes in the environment which can be transferred into clinical settings. The aim of this study was to assess the co-resistance of heavy metals with antibiotics in bacteria from dumpsite in addition to physicochemical analysis. Sample collection, physicochemical analysis, and enumeration of total heterotrophic bacteria counts (THBC) were all carried out using standard existing protocols. Identified bacteria isolates were subjected to antibiotics sensitivity test using the Kirby Bauer disc diffusion technique and the resulting multidrug resistant (MDR) isolates were subjected to heavy metal tolerance test using agar dilution technique with increasing concentrations (50, 100, 150, 200 and to 250 μg/ml) of our study heavy metals. THBC ranged from 6.68 to 7.92 × 10
