Anoxygenic phototrophic purple non-sulfur bacteria: tool for bioremediation of hazardous environmental pollutants.
Review in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 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
The extraordinary metabolic flexibility of anoxygenic phototrophic purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) has been exploited in the development of various biotechnological applications, such as wastewater treatment, biohydrogen production, improvement of soil fertility and plant growth, and recovery of high-value compounds. These versatile microorganisms can also be employed for the efficient bioremediation of hazardous inorganic and organic pollutants from contaminated environments. Certain members of PNSB, especially strains of Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Rhodopseudomonas palustris, exhibit efficient remediation of several toxic and carcinogenic heavy metals and metalloids, such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and lead. PNSB are also known to utilize diverse biomass-derived lignocellulosic organic compounds and xenobiotics. Although biodegradation of some substituted aromatic compounds by PNSB has been established, available information on the involvement of PNSB in the biodegradation of toxic organic pollutants is limited. In this review, we present advancements in the field of PNSB-based bioremediation of heavy metals and organic pollutants. Furthermore, we highlight that the potential role of PNSB as a promising bioremediation tool remains largely unexplored. Thus, this review emphasizes the necessity of investing extensive research efforts in the development of PNSB-based bioremediation technology.
