Rhizosphere microbiome metagenomics in PGPR-mediated alleviation of combined stress from polypropylene microplastics and Cd in hybrid Pennisetum.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 simultaneous presence of microplastics (MPs) and heavy metals in soil may result in heightened toxicity, causing more significant adverse effects on plant growth. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have demonstrated significant capacities in alleviating the toxic stress caused by the combined pollution of heavy metals and other contaminants. However, research on the impacts and processes of PGPR in alleviating stress induced by the combined pollution from MPs and heavy metals is still insufficient. This study involved a pot experiment to evaluate the ability of PGPR to mitigate stress induced by the combined pollution from polypropylene microplastic (PP MPs) particles of different sizes (6.5 μm and 830 μm) and the heavy metal cadmium (Cd) in the bioenergy plant hybrid Pennisetum. Moreover, metagenomic analysis was used to examine the effects of PGPR on the rhizospheric microbial community and function. The cocontamination of PP and Cd affected the growth of the hybrid Pennisetum differently depending on the size of the MPs particles, with the aboveground and underground lengths of the 6.5 μm PP + Cd experimental group being smaller than those of the 830 μm PP + Cd group.
