Microplastic contamination and removal efficiency in greywater treatment using a membrane bioreactor.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Microplastic (MP) contamination in aquatic environments is a critical concern due to its potential effects on aquatic ecosystems. MP contamination is often unsatisfactorily eliminated using conventional wastewater treatment systems. Membrane bioreactor (MBR) is a modern solution for wastewater treatment offering significant advantages over traditional activated sludge systems, such as a smaller footprint and the ability to produce high-quality effluent. In this study, a pilot-scale MBR was conducted to evaluate MP removal from real greywater. The overall treatment performance for MP removal reached up to 90%, with the MP concentration in the permeate effluent being 0.02 MP L
