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

Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a sustainable biomineralization technology with extensive potential in environmental remediation, geotechnical engineering, and materials science, characterized by its eco-friendliness, low energy consumption, and high compatibility. This paper systematically reviews the biochemical mechanisms, critical influencing factors, and recent engineering advancements of MICP. We first explore the metabolic pathways driven by urease and carbonic anhydrase (CA), emphasizing the synergistic effects of microbial strain selection and environmental parameters-such as temperature, pH, and substrate composition-on mineralization efficiency. Furthermore, the review evaluates the latest application cases, including the immobilization of heavy metals and radionuclides, remediation of building materials, soil stabilization, CO
