Effect of Bacillus subtilis on mechanical and self-healing properties in mortar with different crack widths and curing conditions.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
This research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) in self-healing cracks in concrete and enhancing concrete strength through microbial induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP). The study evaluated the ability of the mortar to cover cracks within 28 days, taking into account the width of the crack, and observed the recovery of strength after self-healing. The use of microencapsulated endospores of B. subtilis was also examined for its impact on the strength of concrete. The compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strengths of normal mortar were compared to those of biological mortar, and it was found that biological mortar had a higher strength capacity. Microstructure analysis using SEM and EDS showed that bacterial growth increased calcium production, contributing to the improved mechanical properties of the bio-mortar.
