1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Chlorpyrifos (CP) belongs to organophosphate pesticide group. It is extensively applied in agricultural and household settings due to its broad-spectrum insecticidal properties. However, its persistence, bioaccumulative behavior, and toxicological effects on non-target organisms, including humans, pose significant environmental and public health concerns. CP and its metabolites, particularly two including 3,5,6-trichloropyridinol (TCP) and chlorpyrifos-oxon (CPO), have been recently reported to be widely found various samples such as in soils, sediments, water bodies, crops, and even human biological fluids. These compounds disrupt biogeochemical cycles, alter soil microbial communities, inhibit enzyme activities, and are linked to neurotoxicity, endocrine disruption, and genotoxic effects. Conventional remediation strategies such as photodegradation, ultrasonication, and filtration remain ineffective due to incomplete degradation and secondary pollution risks. Recent studies highlight the efficiency of microbial degradation, especially by bacteria such as Bacillus, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas and Enterobacter as a promising, eco-friendly alternative. These microorganisms utilize CP as a only carbon source, and degradation calibre is greatly governed by various abiotic factors like pH, temperature, and moisture. The genetic as well as enzymatic analyses reveal key roles of organophosphorus hydrolases encoded by genes such as opd and mpd. The integration of plant growth-promoting traits and laccase activity further enhances their bioremediation capability. Additionally, recent advancements in biosensing techniques for CP detection offer improved sensitivity and real-time monitoring. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of CP's environmental fate, toxicological impact, degradation pathways, and the emerging role of bacterial bioremediation, highlighting its potential for sustainable environmental detoxification.
