Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in the Environment: Dissemination, Ecological Risks, and Remediation Approaches.
Review in Microorganisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Global antibiotic use saturates ecosystems with selective pressure, driving mobile genetic element (MGE)-mediated antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) dissemination that destabilizes ecological integrity and breaches public health defenses. This review synthesizes the sources, environmental distribution, and ecological risks of antibiotics and ARGs, emphasizing the mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) driven by MGEs such as plasmids, transposons, and integrons. We further conduct a comparative critical analysis of the effectiveness and limitations of antibiotics and ARGs remediation strategies for adsorption (biochar, activated carbon, carbon nanotubes), chemical degradation (advanced oxidation processes, Fenton-based systems), and biological treatment (microbial degradation, constructed wetlands). To effectively curb the spread of antimicrobial resistance and safeguard the sustainability of ecosystems, we propose an integrated "One Health" framework encompassing enhanced global surveillance (antibiotic residues and ARGs dissemination) as well as public education.
