Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria synergistically enhance growth and cadmium accumulation of hyperaccumulator Sedum plumbizincicola.
Article in BMC plant 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
backgroundArbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) are commonly found in cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soils and have the potential to enhance phytoremediation. However, the synergistic effects and underlying mechanisms of AMF and PSB on plant growth and Cd accumulation in hyperaccumulators remain largely unclear. A pot experiment was conducted using Sedum plumbizincicola grown in Cd-contaminated soil (8.99 mg kg⁻¹) to investigate the effects of single inoculation and co-inoculation with AMF (Funneliformis mosseae) and PSB (Serratia marcescens).
resultInoculation with AMF and PSB, especially co-inoculation, significantly improved nutrient availability and acid phosphatase activity in the rhizosphere soil, root morphology, and leaf mineral nutrient accumulation, thereby promoting plant growth. Compared with the control, co-inoculation (AMF + PSB) increased shoot and root biomass by 79% and 46%, respectively. Co-inoculation also decreased rhizosphere soil pH and markedly enhanced Cd bioavailability, with a 250% increase in CaCl
conclusionsThese results demonstrate that AMF and PSB synergistically improve growth and Cd phytoextraction in S. plumbizincicola, providing a feasible microbial strategy for enhancing phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated farmland soils.
