1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Microorganisms, as abundant biological resources, offer significant potential in the development of selenium-enrichment technologies. Selenium-enriched microorganisms not only absorb, reduce, and accumulate selenium efficiently but also produce various selenium compounds without relying on synthetic chemical processes. In particular, nano-selenium produced by these microorganisms during cultivation has garnered attention due to its unique physicochemical properties and biological activity, making it a promising raw material for functional foods and pharmaceutical products. This paper reviews selenium-enriched microorganisms, focusing on their classification, selenium metabolism, and transformation mechanisms. It explores how selenium is absorbed, reduced, and transformed within microbial cells, analyzing the biochemical processes by which inorganic selenium is converted into organic and nano-selenium forms. Finally, the broad applications of selenium-enriched microbial products in food, medicine, and agriculture are explored, including their roles in selenium-rich foods, nano-selenium materials, and disease prevention and treatment.
