Removal of endocrine disrupters from the contaminated environment: public health concerns, treatment strategies and future perspectives - A review.
Review in Heliyon, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) are emerging contaminants of concern (ECC) that disturb endocrine hormones and system functionality even at very low concentrations (i.e. μg/L or ng/L levels). Hence, EDCs are found in all components of the environment including surface and groundwater, wastewater, soil, outdoor and indoor air and in the contaminated foods from a variety of sources (run off from agricultural activities, sewage treatment plants, leakage from septic tanks etc.), and the effects are more severe as the majority of EDCs do not have standard regulations. The environmental mobility of EDCs is higher as conventional wastewater treatment does not degrade efficiently and the development of effective and sustainable removal technologies specifically designed for the removal of those emerging micropollutants is essential. Accordingly, EDCs cause various public health diseases such as reproductive abnormalities, obesity, various cancer types, cardiovascular risks, metabolic disorders, epigenetic alterations, autism, etc. This paper reviews the existing and emerging treatment technologies for the removal of phenolic based EDCs, such as natural estrogens (estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2), estriol (E3)), synthetic estrogen 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) and phenolic xenoestrogens (4-nonyl phenols (4-NP) and bisphenol-A (BPA)) from the contaminated environment. These includes advanced oxidation processes (AOP), adsorption processes, membrane based filtration, bioremediation, phytoremediation and other integrated approaches. The sustainability of EDCs removal can be assured through the use of combined processes (i.e. low-cost - biological and adsorption methods with efficient and costly - AOPs) techniques through system integration to achieve better removal efficiency than using a single treatment technique. Besides, the public health concerns and future research perspectives of EDCs are also highlighted.
