A review on assessment of ionic liquids in extraction of lithium, nickel, and cobalt
Review in RSC advances, 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
This review discusses the extraction of critical metals (Li, Co, and Ni) using ionic liquids. Here, ionic liquids act as solvents for the separation and extraction of metals. In addition to extraction, they can be used as a lixiviant to leach out metals from spent lithium-ion batteries. Leaching and extraction of metals from the leachate can be performed using a single ionic liquid solvent. Lithium, cobalt, and nickel have been discussed in detail as per their reactivity towards an ionic liquid based on the extraction efficiency and reusability of the ionic liquid. Recycling and reusability of ionic liquids are crucial parameters to be considered while using them as solvents for extracting metals. Moreover, all the other methods such as solvent extraction, ion exchange, ionic liquids, and DES-based separation of metals are compared with respect to their extraction efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and reusability.
