Plant hyperaccumulators: a state-of-the-art review on mechanism of heavy metal transport and sequestration.
Review in Frontiers in plant science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Soils contaminated with heavy metals (HMs) pose severe consequences to living organisms, primarily affecting human health. During the past two decades, researchers have focused on hyperaccumulator plant species to augment the cleanup efforts of contaminated soils. Plants are continually exposed to HMs in the environment since they are sessile organisms. Plants that do not hyperaccumulate metals are vulnerable to high metal concentrations. Their root vacuoles create complexes with metal ligands as a detoxifying approach. On the other hand, metal-hyperaccumulating plants have evolved internal regulatory systems that allow them to hyperaccumulate excess HMs in their above-ground tissues. Unlike metal non-hyperaccumulators, they have the unusual ability to successfully carry out regular physiological activities without displaying any evident stress signs. The capacity of hyperaccumulators to acquire extra metals is due to the overexpression of constitutive metal transporter and their translocation capacity. To accomplish this, plants respond to HMs stress by inducing specifying key genes and enzymes involved in HMs chelation and compartmentalization in plants, such as phytochelatin synthases (
