Electrifying the UNSDGs with microbial power.
Review in Emerging topics in life sciences, 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
Water stress represents a critical global challenge demanding innovative solutions for effective water resource management. Microbial electrochemical technologies (METs) leverage bacterial extracellular electron transfer for addressing issues related to water stress. These technologies exhibit a diverse range of applications, positioning them as integral to sustainable development through effective water resource management. Their versatility allows them to function as key contributors to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). Through their application, METs offer promising strategies for mitigating pollution, recovering valuable resources, and enabling real-time water quality monitoring. Employing these technologies facilitates the concurrent addressing of various UNSDGs, fostering a holistic and integrated approach. METs present opportunities for decentralized wastewater treatment and reuse, thereby promoting accessibility to clean water and sanitation, particularly in marginalized communities. However, the realization of these benefits faces significant challenges, including technological scalability, optimization, and regulatory frameworks. Overcoming these obstacles is crucial for harnessing the full potential of METs to meet UNSDGs. This perspective article underscores the imperative of further research, collaboration, and policy support to propel METs towards becoming a cornerstone in the sustainable management of water resources and the achievement of UNSDGs on a global scale.
