Removal of microplastics by algal biomass from aqueous solutions: performance, optimization, and modeling.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Microplastics (MPs) are emerging pollutants that pose significant risks to ecosystems due to their inherent toxicity, capacity to accumulate various pollutants, and potential for synergistic impacts. Given these concerns, the focus of this research is on the critical need for effective MPs removal from aquatic environments. Using BBD method, this study aimed to identify the key parameters affecting the removal of MPs by algal biomass from aqueous solutions. The investigation specifically analyzed the effects of varying initial PS concentrations (100 to 900 mg/L), pH values (4 to 10), reaction durations (20 to 40 min), and C. vulgaris dosages (50 to 400 mg/L). Data analysis indicated that QM best described the experimental findings, leading to the identification of optimal conditions for PS removal: a pH of 7.5, a reaction time of 31.90 min, a C. vulgaris dosage of 274.05 mg/L, and a PS level of 789.37 mg/L. Under these conditions, the study achieved a maximum removal efficiency of 73.01% for PS. These outcomes demonstrate the significant potential of C. vulgaris in efficiently removing PS from water. Furthermore, using algae as a green, eco-friendly alternative to conventional chemical coagulants offers a practical and sustainable approach to addressing MPs pollution in our water systems.
