Microbial innovations for sustainable construction: improving durability and environmental impact through the collaboration of civil engineering and microbiology.
Review in Archives of microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
It involves the combination of microbiology and civil engineering offering a revolutionary way of sustainable construction. The review shows that potential of microbial processes to increase material durability and decrease environmental impact is highly promising. One of the most notable inventions is microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP), that can enhance the strength of the soil and concrete up to 50 percent and self-heal qualities, increasing the service life of infrastructures significantly. Microbial technologies are also providing effective means to remediate contaminated construction sites and waste management to provide cleaner ecosystems. Besides, the use of microorganisms in the treatment of wastewater in infrastructure projects reduces environmental footprints. Such synergy is interdisciplinary, hence covering key issues of material degradation and wastes, but also leading to greener built environments. The development of biocementation, self-healing concrete and microbial corrosion inhibition highlights the importance of microbiology in improving sustainable civil engineering activities.
