Microbial bioremediation of persistent organic pollutants in plant tissues provides crop growth promoting liquid fertilizer.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Constructed wetlands are used to clean domestic wastewater via phytoremediation, commonly involving the use of reeds. The process results in the production of large amounts of polluted plant tissues, which are then considered unusable waste products. In this study, the reusability of reeds and nettle-polluted tissues is investigated. Fermenting contaminated plant tissues to produce liquid fertilizer is a sustainable means to remove 87-95% of persistent organic pollutants. A multiomics approach combining metabolomics and amplicon metagenomics is used to analyze the mechanisms that occur during fertilizer production from polluted plant tissues and identify the microbes that are likely key for this transformation. A consortium of bacteria and fungi with cellulolytic activity is identified. In addition, the obtained liquid fertilizer positively impacts plant growth in the presence of pathogens and therefore exhibits potential application in farming. This approach may be a simple, commercially attractive solution for the management of contaminated plant tissues originating from constructed wetlands, which are currently considered problematic, useless waste products.
