Sustainable Membrane Technologies for Enhancing Urban Climate Resilience.
Review in Membranes, 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
Growing wastewater volumes and intensifying water scarcity are driving the need for affordable, sustainable solutions that enable safe urban water reuse and strengthen climate resilience. Policy frameworks such as SDG6 and EU water reuse requirements highlight that reclaimed water must meet strict environmental and public health standards. In contrast, conventional biological treatment cannot fully remove many emerging contaminants, underscoring the need for advanced treatment approaches that consistently deliver high-quality reclaimed water. In this context, this review examines the role of membrane technologies (MF, UF, NF, RO, FO) and membrane bioreactors (MBRs) in providing safe water in urban environments and in enhancing urban climate resilience, including decentralized systems and advanced reclamation needs. It also discusses the contribution of membrane-based solutions to sustainable cooling systems and heat-stress mitigation, as well as the integration of membrane technologies into green infrastructure and nature-based solutions for climate adaptation. Technical and economic performance is shaped by fouling, cleaning requirements, and energy use, making life-cycle and operational optimization critical for long-term sustainability. Case studies and EU-funded initiatives demonstrate that, with appropriate governance and design, membrane-based approaches can enable reliable reclaimed water supply, enhance water security, and contribute to circular urban water management. The analysis was based on peer-reviewed open-access publications, which may introduce a degree of selection bias.
