A review on low-temperature denitrification technologies: evolution, mechanisms and prospects for sustainable wastewater treatment.
Review in Water science and technology : a journal of the International Association on Water Pollution Research, 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 inhibition of denitrification in low-temperature environments poses challenges for wastewater treatment plants in cold regions to achieve compliance and control costs. The cold tolerance mechanisms of existing technologies remain unclear, limiting their engineering stability and widespread adoption. Simultaneously, the lack of systematic evaluations balancing technical efficacy and economic viability hinders the selection of optimal technologies. Through bibliometrics analysis, mechanism comparison and multidimensional evaluation, this paper outlines trends in low-temperature denitrification technologies. It indicates that research focus has shifted from traditional methods like constructed wetlands and activated sludge to novel technologies such as biofilms, anammox and solid-phase denitrification (SPD). Among these, SPD and partial denitrification/anammox (PD/A) show promise as advanced solutions combining environmental effectiveness and economic sustainability. SPD achieves a high nitrate removal rate of 91 ± 4% by enriching functional microorganisms, enhancing enzyme activity and accelerating electron transfer, demonstrating outstanding environmental effectiveness. PD/A constructs a more efficient denitrification pathway, circumventing low-temperature limitations on Nir and Nos activity, holding potential for energy conservation and emission reduction. Future priorities should focus on leveraging artificial intelligence to optimize the composite carbon source ratios in SPD for enhanced economic efficiency and employing biofilm/granular sludge to enrich aerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacteria for scalable PD/A.
