Utilizing sulfate-reducing bacteria in bioelectrochemical systems for industrial wastewater treatment: a comprehensive review.
Review in Bioprocess and biosystems engineering, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Industrial processes play a major role in environmental pollution, particularly through the discharge of sulfate-laden wastewater containing harmful metals and organic contaminants. The generation of sustainable energy and the management of industrial wastewater are pressing global challenges that require worldwide attention. Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) represent an emerging technology capable of simultaneously addressing both challenges by harnessing the metabolic processes of electroactive microorganisms to convert the chemical energy of organic substrates into electrical energy. Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are anaerobic microorganisms that converts sulfate to sulfide, facilitating the precipitation of heavy metals and other pollutants. SRB oxidize a broad spectrum of electron donors, and their ability to work in extreme environments and to decompose complex pollutants makes them promising options for treatment of sulfate- and metal-rich industrial effluents. The present study integrates metabolic and electrochemical insights to consolidate current knowledge on SRB-based bioelectroremediation systems, emphasizing their mechanisms, influencing factors, and electrode interactions, while also exploring design strategies and performance limitations. By outlining existing challenges and highlighting future opportunities, this study provides a framework for advancing SRB-BES applications in sustainable industrial wastewater treatment.
