Harnessing the power of microbial fuel cells as pioneering green technology: advancing sustainable energy and wastewater treatment through innovative nanotechnology.
Review in Bioprocess and biosystems engineering, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The purpose of this review is to gain attention about intro the advanced and green technology that has dual action for both clean wastewater and produce energy. Water scarcity and the continuous energy crisis have arisen as major worldwide concerns, requiring the creation of ecologically friendly and sustainable energy alternatives. The rapid exhaustion of fossil resources needs the development of alternative energy sources that reduce carbon emissions while maintaining ecological balance. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) provide a viable option by producing power from the oxidation of organic and biodegradable chemicals using microorganisms as natural catalysts. This technology has sparked widespread attention due to its combined potential to cleanse wastewater and recover energy. The review presents a complete examination of current advances in MFCs technology, with a focus on the crucial role of anode materials in improving their performance. Moreover, different anode materials and their nanoscale modifications are being studied to boost MFC efficiency. This current review also focused on the effects of surface modifications and different anode compositions on power generation and system stability. It also investigates the electrochemical principles behind these enhancements, providing insights into the economic potential of MFCs. MFCs provide a long-term solution to energy and environmental issues by addressing both wastewater treatment and energy production.
