Phage bioaugmentation reveals the potential of lysogeny for soil bioremediation.
Review in Communications 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
Pollution of natural ecosystems is a global concern, with industrialisation contaminating millions of soil and water sites. These contaminants threaten human health, agricultural productivity, and ecological balance. Traditional bioaugmentation strategies, while cost-effective and sustainable, face challenges including slow degradation rates and environmental constraints on microbial efficacy. This mini review examines phage bioaugmentation, which uses bacteriophages to enhance microbial pollutant degradation and support a circular economy. We focus on lysogenic phages that integrate auxiliary metabolic genes into bacterial hosts to improve degradation capacity, synthesise current knowledge, identify challenges, and propose a conceptual workflow for implementation.
