Screening of five mulberry (Morus spp.) cultivars for safe utilization of arsenic-contaminated tailings.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Mulberry cultivation for sericulture provides both ecological and economic benefits, supporting green mining strategies. This study evaluated the safety and suitability of five mulberry cultivars (G62, Y120, G12, J, F) from two species Morus atropurpurea and Morus alba, grown in arsenic (As)-contaminated tailing soils for silkworm rearing. After six months of cultivation, all cultivars exhibited reduced growth, with Y120 showing the highest tolerance and minimal growth inhibition, while F was the most sensitive. Arsenic accumulation followed the order root > leaf > stem, with J and F displaying 2.0-3.9 times higher root As concentrations than Y120 and G62. All cultivars reduced rhizosphere soil As through phytoremediation, with F achieving the highest reduction (38.38%). Silkworms fed As-contaminated leaves showed delayed development, increased leaf consumption, and decreased survival rates, particularly in the 5th instar. Y120-fed silkworms had the highest survival (86.11%) and cocooning rates (83.33%), while F-fed silkworms had the lowest (50.56% survival, 26.67% cocooning). Gut microbiota analyses revealed cultivar-specific shifts in bacterial diversity. Importantly, As levels in silkworm products remained within safety limits, with bioaccumulation highest in feces and lowest in cocoons. Based on 26 safety indicators, Y120 ranked as the most suitable cultivar for sericulture in As-contaminated soils, ensuring safe and sustainable mulberry-silkworm production.
