Microbial degradation of organophosphorus pesticides: mechanisms, environmental impacts, and future perspectives.
Review in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 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
The pervasive global dispersion of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) as a primary insecticidal agent for enhanced agricultural productivity presents an enduring ecological and human health exigency. Unfettered field-scale applications result in the ubiquitous contamination of diverse ecosystems, precipitating deleterious effects extending from the disruption of soil microbiome homeostasis and attendant biogeochemical cycles to significant morbidity in non-target biota and human populations. The pronounced hazards associated with specific OPs, including methamidophos, methyl parathion, and parathion, categorized as highly hazardous by the World Health Organization (WHO) and consequently restricted in numerous countries - underscore the imperative for effective remediation strategies. This review critically examines the natural attenuation of OPs, accentuating the burgeoning field of bioremediation and biodegradation as environmentally sustainable and efficacious approaches for decontaminating affected niches. We provide a comprehensive synthesis of the current understanding of the remarkable metabolic versatility exhibited by a phylogenetically diverse consortium of fungal and bacterial genera, exemplified by genera such as Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Acinetobacter, and Aspergillus, capable of catabolizing a broad repertoire of OP compounds in both soil and aqueous matrices. Furthermore, this analysis elucidates the central role of specific microbial organophosphorus hydrolase genes (oph, opd, mph, hocA, and opaA) in the evolutionary adaptation of novel metabolic pathways and the expression of cognate hydrolase enzymes that catalyze the crucial initial steps in OP degradation. This focused synthesis highlights recent advances in deciphering the intricate molecular mechanisms governing microbial OP biodegradation and critically evaluates the potential of these biological systems as robust and scalable bioremediation interventions for the effective restoration of OP-contaminated water and soil environments.
