Phytoremediation of Wastewater From Oil Well Drilling: Potential of Different Plant Species.
Article in Water environment research : a research publication of the Water Environment Federation, 2026. 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
This study evaluated the removal of contaminants present in wastewater from oil well drilling in the presence of three plant species: water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), cattail (Typha domingensis), and purple fountain grass (Cenchrus setaceus "Rubrum"). The synthesized wastewater contained potentially toxic metals (Zn, Cu, and Cr) and representative hydrocarbons (naphthalene, hexane, and hexadecane) and it was applied in hydroponic systems operating in sequential batches. Agronomic, biochemical, and water quality variables were monitored periodically. The results indicated that C. setaceus had the best overall performance, indicating its absence of mortality, agronomic stability, and statistically significant removal of color, biochemical oxygen demand, total organic carbon, total carbon, and metals. The kinetics of chemical oxygen demand removal were faster in the presence of C. setaceus, with a higher reaction coefficient and better fit of the first-order model with residual (plateau) to the data. Although they promoted the removal of some pollutants, the performance of the treatments in the presence of T. domingensis and E. crassipes was inferior to that of the treatment with C. setaceus in terms of stability, vigor, and consistency of the results. It was concluded that C. setaceus has high tolerance to contaminated environments and potential for application in constructed wetland systems for the treatment of wastewater from well drilling and is a promising alternative for sustainable phytoremediation strategies.
