Process based assessment of wastewater quality and rinse water reuse potential in denim finishing: a scalable framework for circular water management.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Industrial textile production is a significant contributor to freshwater pollution, particularly in water-intensive processes such as denim finishing. This study presents a process-based assessment of wastewater quality and rinse-water reuse potential using a stage-specific Water Quality Index (WQI) framework. By analyzing effluents from six major denim finishing stages, critical pollution hotspots were identified, and the feasibility of cascading rinse-water recovery was evaluated. Results demonstrate that WQI values decreased significantly after rinsing, with reductions reaching up to approximately 70% depending on the process stage. Furthermore, the proposed stepwise reuse strategy has the potential to reduce freshwater consumption by nearly two-thirds while maintaining operational performance. Beyond a site-specific application, the proposed methodology offers a transferable framework for industrial water optimization and circular water management in textile facilities globally. The findings contribute to advancing sustainable industrial practices and support progress toward SDG 6 and SDG 12.
