Current status and future prospects of microalgae-based degradation of spent lubricant oil hydrocarbon towards environmental sustainability: a mini review and bibliometric analysis.
Review in Archives of microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 biodegradation of spent oil waste (SOW) using bacteria and fungi has been actively researched over the years. Only recently has the use of microalgae for the treatment of SOW attracted significant attention. This review aims to highlight the biodegradative capabilities of microalgae as well as provide a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to assess current research activities and trends in microalgae-based biodegradation of SOW. The bibliographic data exported from Dimensions database was analyzed using VOSviewer, focusing on various aspects such as document types, publications, subject categories, sources, countries, authors, organizations, and cited articles. The results obtained showed a remarkable increase (80.23%) in the number of article publications from 2005 to 2023 in this field of research. China (887 publications), Environmental Science (3571 publications), Bioresource Technology (249 publications) and Harbin Institute of Technology (72 publications), were the most productive country, subject category, journal, and organization, respectively, publishing articles in this field of research. The review also discussed SOW hydrocarbons ranging from alkanes, aromatic compounds to polychlorinated compounds and the mechanism of degradation of these compounds by microalgae. Overall, the review provided useful insight on microalgae SOW degradation, current research direction and the prospect of using microalgae in environmental remediation and sustainability.
