Spent Coffee Grounds as an Adsorbent Material for Metal Ions.
Review in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 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
The valorization of agricultural and food industry residues represents an important component of the circular bioeconomy, enabling the conversion of waste streams into value-added materials while mitigating environmental pollution. Spent coffee grounds (SCGs), a solid by-product generated during the extraction of coffee beans with hot water or steam, constitute an abundant lignocellulosic biomass residue. Due to their physicochemical properties, SCGs can be used as low-cost adsorbent materials for the treatment of metal-contaminated wastewater, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional synthetic resins. This review summarizes recent research on the application of SCGs for the removal of metal ions from aqueous systems. The adsorption performance of raw and modified SCGs, including materials obtained via carbonization and chemical functionalization, is comparatively evaluated. Furthermore, key operational parameters governing the adsorption process and the corresponding metal removal efficiencies are discussed.
