The Shift to Bio-Based Auxiliaries in Textile Wet Processing: Recent Advances and Industrial Potential.
Review in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 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 textile industry is among the most resource-intensive sectors, heavily dependent on water, energy, and synthetic chemicals, particularly in wet processing stages such as desizing, scouring, bleaching, dyeing, printing, and finishing. Conventional practices generate vast amounts of contaminated wastewater, posing severe risks to ecosystems and human health. In recent years, growing environmental concerns and stricter regulations have accelerated the search for sustainable alternatives. Biotechnology offers promising solutions, including enzymes, biopolymers, plant- and agrowaste-derived materials, and microbial metabolites, which can replace conventional auxiliaries and reduce the ecological footprint of textile processing. This review provides a structured overview of recent advances in bio-based compounds applied across different stages of textile wet processing. Applications are critically assessed in terms of performance, efficiency, environmental benefits, and potential for industrial adoption. Current limitations, future outlooks, and examples of commercially available products are also discussed. By highlighting the most recent progress, this review underscores the potential of bio-based innovations to support the transition toward more sustainable and resource-efficient textile manufacturing.
