Advancements in Biochar as a Sustainable Adsorbent for Water Pollution Mitigation.
Review in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Biochar, a carbon-rich material produced from the partial combustion of biomass wastes is often termed "black gold" for its potential in water pollution mitigation and carbon sequestration. By customizing biomass feedstock and optimizing preparation strategies, biochar can be engineered with specific physicochemical properties to enhance its effectiveness in removing contaminants from wastewater. Recent studies demonstrate that biochar can achieve > 90% removal efficiency for heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, > 85% adsorption capacity for organic pollutants such as dyes and phenols, and > 80% reduction in microplastics and nanoplastics. This review explores recent advancements in biochar preparation technologies, such as pyrolysis, carbonization, gasification, torrefaction, and rectification, along with physical, chemical, and biological modifications that are crucial for efficient pollutant removal. The core of this review focuses on biochar's applications in removing a wide range of pollutants from wastewater, detailing mechanisms for organic pollutants, inorganic salts, pharmaceutical contaminants, microplastics, nanoplastics, and volatile organic compounds. In addition, the review introduces machine learning as a key technique for optimizing biochar production and functionality, showcasing its potential in advancing biochar technology. The conclusion provides a comprehensive outlook on biochar's future, emphasizing ongoing research and its role in sustainable environmental management.
