Strategies for cost-optimized biocement production: a comprehensive review.
Review in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Biocement is a promising alternative to conventional cement, offering advantages in sustainability and reducing carbon footprints. However, its widespread adoption has been hindered by the relatively high production costs. This review aims to explore various strategies and advancements in biocement production that can contribute to cost reduction. Specifically, we discuss the selection of low-cost microbial growth media for microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP), the utilization of plant extractives as enzyme substitutes in enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP), the substitution of urea with urine as a low-cost source of nitrogen, the exploration of affordable alternatives to calcium ions, and the valorization of ammonia/ammonium byproducts, and other pathways. The adoption of these strategies could significantly enhance biocement's scalability and sustainability, paving the way for more eco-friendly and cost-effective construction practices.
