Recent progress in highly effective electrocoagulation-coupled systems for advanced wastewater treatment.
Review in iScience, 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
Electrocoagulation (EC) has been a well-known technology for wastewater treatment over the past centuries, owing to its straightforward equipment requirements and highly effective contaminant removal efficiency. This literature review emphasizes the influence of several input variables in the EC system such as electrode materials, applied current, pH, supporting electrolyte, and inner-electrode distance on effluent removal efficiency and energy consumption. Besides that, depending on the intrinsic properties of effluents, EC is recommended to hybridize with other methods such as physical-, biological-, chemical-, and electrochemical methods in order to enhance removal performance and reduce energy consumption. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis of EC performance is presented, including power consumption, and evaluation of the synergistic effect of multiple input variables using statistical methods. Finally, this review discusses future perspectives such as the environmentally friendly utilization of post-EC treated sludges, the development of renewable energy-driven EC systems, and the challenges of EC management by artificial intelligence.
