Advances in Microalgal Biomass Harvesting: Sustainable Approaches for Biofuel and Biorefinery Applications.
Review in Applied biochemistry and biotechnology, 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
As a sustainable energy source and potential petroleum-free fuel, microalgae biomass is gaining popularity. The varied metabolic activities of microalgae species allow the extraction of bioproducts for animal feed, food, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and biopharmaceuticals. Concentrating and measuring microalgal biomass biochemicals requires a lot of raw materials due to the low biomass-to-liquid ratio. This makes sustainable energy equilibrium in microalgae processing difficult. Thus, microalgae collection is a difficult field that needs more research. This paper presents the latest chemical/physical flocculation, bioflocculation, and electrical-based microalgal biomass harvesting methods. Physical flocculation needs energy and equipment, which may make microalgal biomass collection expensive. However, chemical flocculation, which uses inorganic and organic flocculants, is becoming more successful. This review also discusses biomolecule separation using low-liquefying ionic liquids or salts. This approach allows varied biorefinery theories to value microalgal biomass while maintaining biomolecule structural integrity and activity. The article uses comprehensive methods to examine scale up, industrial application, life cycle analysis problems, and future research prospects in microalgae collection for sustainable biofuel generation.
