Biochar for the adsorption of endocrine-disrupting chemicals: performance, mechanisms, and strategies.
Review in RSC advances, 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
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in the environment can interfere with the normal levels of hormones in human bodies, posing threats to human health. Hence, the removal of EDCs is an urgent matter. Biochar, recognized as a low-cost and eco-friendly adsorbent, possesses significant potential for removing EDCs. In recent years, numerous studies have reported on the adsorption of pollutants by biochar. However, a systematic summary specifically addressing the adsorption of EDCs by biochar remains absent. This review addresses this gap by providing the first comprehensive synthesis of biochar applications in the adsorption of EDCs, introducing a novel modular design strategy which is proposed herein for the first time to tailor biochar properties to target EDC structures. This article initially summarizes and analyzes the preparation and modification methods of biochar. Secondly, a discussion is conducted regarding the analysis of various types of EDCs adsorbed by biochar. Based on the mechanism by which biochar absorbs EDCs, a modular design strategy for biochar is first proposed. Additionally, the main influencing factors and economic feasibility of biochar removal for EDCs are deliberated. Finally, prospects for future research on biochar removal of EDCs are presented.
