A comprehensive screening on the effect of Bacillus cereus and Vibrio natriegens bacterial consortia in cement mortar.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Self-healing mechanisms based on calcite precipitation have proven effective in enhancing concrete's strength, durability, and crack repair capabilities. This research explores the self-healing process in concrete via microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) using Bacillus cereus and Vibrio natriegens. This study involved various experimental analysis such as biochemical and morphological identification, bacterial growth evaluation, and characterization of mortar specimens using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), testing for ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and compressive strength testing. The findings revealed that the bacterial consortium outperformed the individual bacterial strains, resulting in a 19.85% increase in compressive strength and a 29.6% decrease in water absorption compared to conventional mortar. XRD and EDS analyses confirmed the formation of calcium carbonates within the cracks. These results position the bacterial consortium as an effective and economically viable approach for bio-self-healing concrete through MICP, especially in hot and humid environments.
