Harnessing the Ecological and Genomic Adaptability of the Bacterial Genus Massilia for Environmental and Industrial Applications.
Review in Microbial biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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 bacterial genus Massilia was first described in 1998, and since then has attracted growing interest due to its ecological plasticity and biotechnological promise. Certain species of the genus Massilia inhabit a variety of ecosystems, from arid deserts to polar glaciers, and exhibit unique adaptations such as resistance to cold and heat. In contaminated environments, some members of Massilia contribute significantly to the detoxification of heavy metals and the degradation of organic pollutants, presenting them as promising agents for bioremediation. In addition, Massilia species improve plant resistance and facilitate pollutant absorption in phytoremediation strategies. New research also highlights their potential as bioindicators of environmental health, given their abundance in anthropogenically influenced ecosystems and airborne microbial communities. In addition to their ecological roles, some Massilia species have potential in biotechnological applications by producing biopolymers and secondary metabolites. Here, we integrate findings across various habitats to present a comprehensive overview of the ecological and biotechnological importance of the genus Massilia. We highlight critical knowledge gaps and propose future research directions to fully harness the potential of this not fully explored bacterial genus to address environmental challenges, including contamination.
