Ex-situ multi-media bioleaching and functional characterization of indigenous fungal strains for chromium and zinc remediation in polluted soils.

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
This study evaluates the bioremediation potential of eight indigenous fungal strains isolated from chromium- and zinc-contaminated soils of the Korangi Industrial Estate, Karachi, Pakistan. The site, a major industrial hub hosting tanneries, metal plating, and chemical plants, has long suffered from heavy metal pollution due to untreated effluent discharge. To assess the remediation efficiency of these native fungi, bioleaching experiments were conducted under controlled ex-situ conditions using five nutrient media-Potato Dextrose Broth (PDB), Sabouraud Dextrose Broth (SDB), Yeast Peptone Dextrose (YPD), Yeast Peptone Glucose (YPG), and Czapek Dox Broth (CDB). Each 250 mL flask contained 100 mL of sterilized medium inoculated with 1 mL of spore suspension (≈10⁸ spores mL⁻
