Trash-to-Energy: Shedding Light on Plastic and Biomass Valorization Through Artificial Photosynthesis Towards Sustainability.
Review in Exploration (Beijing, China), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Solid waste remains a global crisis in which massive amount of solid waste is disposed of in landfills and the environment yearly, leading to detrimental environmental pollution and loss of resources. However, the current downcycling technologies, such as pyrolysis and gasification, usually require extensive energy input and harsh operating conditions, posing a high possibility of causing secondary pollution. In pursuit of a sustainable future, artificial photosynthesis arises as one of the promising but arduous approaches to reform solid waste into fuels and commodity chemicals under benign conditions. Under this backdrop, this review aims to present a thorough overview of the recent advancement in solid waste transformation through photocatalysis. To begin with, the principles of solar-driven conversion pathways for solid waste are discussed under different reaction conditions. Then this review also highlights the merits of artificial photosynthesis and diverse state-of-the-art photocatalysts for solid waste valorization. Special emphasis is placed on elucidating the application of external-field-assisted photocatalysis (e.g. photothermocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, photobiocatalysis, and piezo-photocatalysis) for solid waste upcycling to explore the synergistic effects on performance improvement. Finally, insights on the challenges and prospects in photocatalytic solid waste conversion are presented to bridge a new exemplification towards a sustainable circular economy in the future.
