Engineered probiotics that sequester arsenite in a mouse gastrointestinal system.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 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
Chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic remains a major global health concern, as arsenite is frequently present in contaminated food and drinking water and readily absorbed through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Once internalized, arsenite accumulates in tissues and contributes to long-term health effects, including cancer, organ dysfunction, and neurological disorders. Despite extensive efforts to reduce environmental contamination, there are currently no practical strategies to prevent dietary arsenite from entering the human body during digestion. Here, we report a synthetic biology-based approach that uses engineered probiotics to detect and sequester arsenite directly within the GI tract before systemic absorption occurs. We engineered
