Novel insecticide-removal activity against deltamethrin and malathion in a lithic-derived
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A large fraction of agricultural pesticides, including insecticides, fails to reach target organisms and instead persists in soil, where residues may accumulate and generate transformation products with unpredictable or enhanced toxicity. Therefore, sustainable mitigation strategies require not only efficient pesticide removal but also effective detoxification. Soil-dwelling bacteria, particularly actinobacteria, possess diverse enzymatic capabilities that can contribute to the transformation of these chemical compounds, thereby influencing their environmental fate. In this study, we evaluated the insecticide-removal potential of 70 actinobacterial strains isolated from oligotrophic environments (dust and stone surfaces) in Tunisia using deltamethrin (a pyrethroid) and malathion (an organophosphate) as model insecticides. Thirty-two strains grew in minimal medium containing 3.2 mg/L of at least one insecticide, with 14 strains growing on both compounds. Among them, the actinobacterium
