State-of-the-Art Review on Removal of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials in Water.
Review in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Radionuclide-contaminated water is carcinogenic and poses numerous severe health risks and environmental dangers. Thus, effective removal techniques are required to ensure the safety of drinking water sources. This article overviews several methods to remove naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMs) from water, including adsorption, coagulation, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, electrodialysis, iron manganese filtration, and membrane filtration. A search is conducted in different scientific databases to identify relevant articles, reviews, and studies on removing radionuclides from water. The overarching goal of this article is to deepen the understanding of the techniques available for radionuclide removal from water and to foster the creation of innovative solutions for water contamination concerns. Each technique is examined in terms of its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability in removing specific radionuclides from water sources. The advantages and limitations of these techniques are discussed, highlighting the importance of selecting the most appropriate method based on the characteristics of the radionuclides and the water source. Different methods can be combined for the more effective removal of radionuclides from water, such as coagulation and filtration, reverse osmosis, and ion exchange. The treatment of water contaminated with radionuclides requires prior laboratory work and pilot-scale tests to determine the most suitable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method.
