Cyanobacteria and Soil Restoration: Bridging Molecular Insights with Practical Solutions.
Review in Microorganisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 degradation has been accelerating globally due to climate change, which threatens food production, biodiversity, and ecosystem balance. Traditional soil restoration strategies are often expensive, slow, or unsustainable in the long term. In this context, cyanobacteria have emerged as promising biotechnological alternatives, being the only prokaryotes capable of performing oxygenic photosynthesis. Moreover, they can capture atmospheric carbon and nitrogen, release exopolysaccharides (EPSs) that stabilize the soil, and facilitate the development of biological soil crusts (biocrusts). In recent years, the convergence of multi-omics tools, such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metabolomics, has advanced our understanding of cyanobacterial dynamics, their metabolic potential, and symbiotic interactions with microbial consortia, as exemplified by the cyanosphere of
