Association between a liverwort and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: a promising strategy for the phytoremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Article in Mycorrhiza, 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
Soil contamination with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) represents a major environmental challenge and requires cost-effective and environmentally friendly remediation technologies. Phytoremediation, enhanced by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), is an effective and extensive technique for PAHs remediation, although, its application with non-vascular plants, is largely unexplored. This study investigates the role of the AMF Rhizophagus irregularis in the uptake and bioaccumulation of anthracene in the liverwort Lunularia cruciata under in vitro conditions. The thallus and the AMF were able to absorb and bioaccumulate anthracene in the cell wall and spores, hyphae and arbuscules respectively. Our results indicate that the liverwort-fungus system employs multiple phytoremediation mechanisms, including phytoaccumulation and phytostabilization. At intermediate contamination levels, the fungal symbiont enhanced contaminant accumulation in the plant, whereas at higher contamination levels, this effect diminished, suggesting a potential limitation in fungal-mediated uptake under extreme conditions. These findings highlight the potential of AMF symbiosis in liverworts for developing biological tools for PAHs remediation, emphasizing the dependence on pollutant concentration for the effectiveness of phytoremediation.
