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

Bacterial tolerance to heavy metals (HM) poses a significant risk to ecosystems and human health. This study evaluated tolerance to HM of 24 bacterial isolates from two deep aquatic environments in southern Brazil: the Guarani Aquifer System (GAS) and the Rio Grande Cone (RGC). GAS wells were in a region of intense agricultural activity, with water levels of iron, selenium and aluminum above regulatory limits. RGC is a deep-sea environment considered pristine, although presenting evidence of human impact. Bacillus, Lysinibacillus, Pseudomonas and Paenibacillus isolates were subjected to HM minimum inhibitory concentration tests, biofilm formation, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and analysis of metal-related genes. 58% of GAS isolates were more tolerant to (FeSO
