Biological approaches to mitigate heavy metal pollution from battery production effluents: advances, challenges, and perspectives.
Review in Environmental science and pollution research international, 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
Battery production generates effluents containing various pollutants, predominantly heavy metals such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and chromium (Cr), which represent a serious risk to human health and the environment. Given their persistence, toxicity, and mobility in ecosystems and biota, heavy metals can bioaccumulate and, in some cases, enter the food chain. With this context in mind, this review presents emerging bioremediation technologies to treat effluents from battery production, focusing on biological methods such as biosorption, phytoremediation, and the use of microorganisms. Heavy metal removal mechanisms and conventional treatments are reviewed, with emphasis on biological approaches. Biosorption emerges as the most used strategy (54.4%) across organisms from different kingdoms. In addition, existing knowledge gaps in battery industry effluent management research are identified, proposing future directions that include the integration of sustainable technologies and the use of traditional knowledge of local communities. This approach seeks not only to mitigate the environmental impact of battery production but also to promote more responsible and equitable production practices, aligned with the principles of environmental justice and sustainability.
