Molecular characterization of heavy metal-tolerant bacteria and their potential for bioremediation and plant growth promotion.

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
Introduction: Heavy metal pollution adversely affects soil health by disrupting the microbial community structure and functions. The current study aimed to isolate and characterize heavy metal-tolerant bacterial strains and evaluate their potential for soil bioremediation and promoting agricultural sustainability. Methods: A total of 68 bacterial strains were isolated from industrial discharge-contaminated sites and screened for their maximum tolerance limits (MTL) against Cr, Cu, Pb, As, and Cd. The biosorption potential of 23 phylogenetically diverse strains was evaluated. Molecular identification was carried out through 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and plant growth-promoting genes ( Results: Several isolates exhibited high MTLs, with tolerance up to 3600 mg/L for Cr, 3300 mg/L for Cu, and 3000 mg/L for Cd and As, while Pb tolerance reached 2100 mg/L. Biosorption was highest for Pb, followed by Cd and Cu; Cr and As were less effectively biosorbed. Molecular identification revealed affiliation of strains to 19 bacterial genera, with Discussion: The isolated strains demonstrated significant tolerance and biosorption of toxic metals, along with plant growth-promoting potential. These findings suggest that selected isolates, particularly NCCP-650
