Comparative evaluation of air phytoremediation potential of four ornamental potted plants for ecofriendly biofilter applications.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Indoor air pollution poses serious health risks, especially in enclosed pharmaceutical laboratories due to volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This study evaluates Air Phytoremediation (AP) as a sustainable mitigation strategy using four indoor plant species: Epipremnum aureum, Chlorophytum comosum, Syngonium podophyllum, and Cordyline fruticosa. The removal efficiency of VOCs Benzene, Toluene, Benzaldehyde, and Acetophenone was assessed across various environments, including incubator chambers, laminar airflow cabinets, and a pharmaceutical organic lab. VOC reduction was measured by percentage removal, leaf area, and total weight absorbed. The initial concentration for each VOC was ranged between 10 and 8 ppm for (benzene, toluene, benzaldehyde, and acetophenone). The leaf area per plant species was determined using ImageJ software and ranged between 771.39 and 1471.77 cm
