Microbial fuel cells as future of green technology: a systematic review.
Review in 3 Biotech, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In the recent years, microbial fuel cells (MFC) have been considered an emerging technology for bioenergy production as the MCFs have the potential to transform organic compounds directly into energy through electrochemical reactions catalyzed by microorganisms. MFC technology may be an attractive approach over traditional wastewater treatment in terms of low cost and environmental sustainability. This results in substantial energy savings, decreased sludge production, and improved energy conversion. This review provides a detailed overview of standard MFCs, elucidating their fundamental working principle and their major components including anode compartment, cathode compartment, membrane/salt bridge, substrate type, and microorganisms. Various parameters that enhance performance and scalability of the MFC are also discussed in this review, which include acidity, salinity, type of microbes, electrode materials, membrane type, geometric design of MFC, and operating parameters. Furthermore, we highlighted the practical applications of MFCs for wastewater treatment, biosensors, and secondary biofuel production. Overall, this review provides insight for a better understanding of all the mandatory parameters required for the practical implementation of MFC technology in the real-world sample.
