Rethinking microplastic cleanup: sustainable bioremediation compared to conventional physical-chemical methods.
Review in RSC advances, 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
Microplastics (MPs) (<5 mm) are hydrophobic and can't be easily degraded. These particles accumulate due to the excessive discharge of plastic waste from domestic and industrial sources, along with several toxic compounds attached to their surface, are also being deposited in environmental matrices, hampering the sustainable environment and human well-being. In the present scenario, to maintain sustainability, there is an urgent need to develop sustainable removal technologies. Physical and chemical treatment of MP removal, such as membrane filtration, density separation, adsorption, coagulation, and photo-catalysis, works effectively, but it is limited by sustainable energy demand, high cost, and secondary pollutants. Ultrafiltration membranes composed of polyether sulphone (PESP) are able to 91-96% removal efficiency for PE, PVC, while Zn-Al layered double hydroxide granules removed up to 96% of nano plastic debris (NPDs). In biological remediation,
