Current Trends in Bioaugmentation Tools for Bioremediation: A Critical Review of Advances and Knowledge Gaps.
Review in Microorganisms, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
Bioaugmentation is widely used in soil bioremediation, wastewater treatment, and air biofiltration. The addition of microbial biomass to contaminated areas can considerably improve their biodegradation performance. Nevertheless, analyses of large data sets on the topic available in literature do not provide a comprehensive view of the mechanisms responsible for inoculum-assisted stimulation. On the one hand, there is no universal mechanism of bioaugmentation for a broad spectrum of environmental conditions, contaminants, and technology operation concepts. On the other hand, further analyses of bioaugmentation outcomes under laboratory conditions and in the field will strengthen the theoretical basis for a better prediction of bioremediation processes under certain conditions. This review focuses on the following aspects: (i) choosing the source of microorganisms and the isolation procedure; (ii) preparation of the inoculum, e.g., cultivation of single strains or consortia, adaptation; (iii) application of immobilised cells; (iv) application schemes for soil, water bodies, bioreactors, and hydroponics; and (v) microbial succession and biodiversity. Reviews of recent scientific papers dating mostly from 2022-2023, as well as our own long-term studies, are provided here.
