Electrochemical Portable Device for Wastewater Remediation: Evaluating the Efficacy of Zeolites against Ibuprofen Contamination.
Article in ACS ES&T water, 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 increasing prevalence of emerging contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals, in wastewater presents significant risks to water quality, ecosystems, and public health. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, are particularly concerning due to their persistence in wastewater and adverse effects on aquatic environments and biodiversity. Electrochemical sensors have emerged as innovative tools for real-time monitoring of such contaminants, enabling the detection and quantification of trace levels and supporting more effective wastewater management strategies. Among these, zeolitesmicroporous minerals with high adsorption capacity and ion exchange propertieshave demonstrated strong potential for economical, sustainable, and environmentally friendly wastewater remediation, particularly given their ability to be regenerated. In this study, a polyester-based electrochemical sensor for ibuprofen detection was developed, analytically characterized, and validated in wastewater. The sensor achieved a detection limit of 1.6 μg/mL and a repeatability of 8% in wastewater. The remediation system was optimized by evaluating different quantities and exposure times of surfactant-modified and unmodified zeolite-rich tuff powder. Then, the complete setup was successfully tested in the presence of ibuprofen-contaminated wastewater demonstrating a remediation efficiency of 73% using the modified zeolite. The sensor, connected to a portable potentiostat, successfully provided on-site measurements to evaluate the effectiveness of zeolites in wastewater remediation from ibuprofen.
