Mitigation Techniques of Membranes' Biofouling in Bioelectrochemical Cells (BEC Cells): Recent Advances.
Review in Membranes, 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
Biofouling remains a critical challenge in bioelectrochemical cells (BECs), hindering their efficiency and performance. This research article reviews advances in biofouling mitigation techniques within BEC systems during the period from 2019 to 2025, focusing on membrane modifications and electro-assisted membrane technologies. Through comprehensive analysis, it is revealed that Nafion alternatives, including ceramic membranes and recycled nonwoven fabrics like polypropylene, have emerged as significant contenders due to their combination of low cost and high performance. Additionally, the incorporation of silver, zeolite, and graphene oxide onto membranes has demonstrated efficacy in mitigating biofouling under laboratory conditions. Furthermore, the application of direct current electric fields has shown potential as a chemical-free preventative measure against biofouling in BECs. However, challenges related to long-term stability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness must be addressed for widespread adoption.
