Unleashing rhizobacteria for sustainable soil remediation: PGPR roles in heavy metal tolerance, detoxification, and plant productivity.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has projected that by 2050, nearly 90% of the world's soil resources will be at risk due to factors such as erosion, overuse of agrochemicals, and industrial pollution. As soil sustains over 95% of the global food supply, such degradation poses a critical threat to food security and ecosystem stability. Among the myriad environmental pollutants, heavy metals (HMs) like arsenic (As), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and chromium (Cr) stand out as insidious threats to the environment. Addressing this issue demands the adoption of eco-friendly and sustainable remediation strategies. Microbial-assisted bioremediation particularly involving plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) has emerged as a promising approach to enhance HMs detoxification while supporting plant health and soil recovery. In this review, we compile and critically evaluate current literature on PGPR-mediated bioremediation, with a focus on mechanisms of HMs tolerance and detoxification, the impact of PGPRs on soil health, and their role in promoting plant growth in contaminated environments. Overall, aims of the study is to provide a holistic understanding of microbial strategies for managing HMs pollution in soil-plant systems, offering a sustainable path forward for agricultural productivity and environmental restoration.
