Cyanoremediation and phyconanotechnology: cyanobacteria for metal biosorption toward a circular economy.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Cyanobacteria are widespread phototrophic microorganisms that represent a promising biotechnological tool to satisfy current sustainability and circularity requirements. They are potential bio-factories of a wide range of compounds that can be exploited in several fields including bioremediation and nanotechnology sectors. This article aims to illustrate the most recent trends in the use of cyanobacteria for the bioremoval (i.e., cyanoremediation) of heavy metals and metal recovery and reuse. Heavy metal biosorption by cyanobacteria can be combined with the consecutive valorization of the obtained metal-organic materials to get added-value compounds, including metal nanoparticles, opening the field of phyconanotechnology. It is thus possible that the use of combined approaches could increase the environmental and economic feasibility of cyanobacteria-based processes, promoting the transition toward a circular economy.
