Sustainable Hydrogels in Water Treatment-A Short Review.
Review in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The growing worldwide water shortage, intensified by pollution from industrial and human activities, highlights the urgent need for advanced, eco-friendly water treatment solutions. Hydrogels, which are three-dimensional polymer networks with exceptional water absorption capabilities, are gaining attention as effective materials for purification, thanks to their remarkable absorption, selectivity, and reusability. This review offers a concise introduction to hydrogels, focusing on their sustainable aspects such as biodegradability, minimal toxicity, and sourcing from renewable materials. We emphasize their benefits compared to traditional treatment approaches and outline the key goals of this review: categorizing and analyzing the synthesis, modification, characteristics, and varied uses of sustainable hydrogels in eliminating inorganic and organic contaminants. Additionally, we explore their potential for regeneration, current limitations, and future prospects in alignment with environmental sustainability.
