1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Eosin Y and eosin B are persistent organic pollutants extensively used in textile, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and printing industries, and their discharge into aquatic environments poses serious ecological and health concerns due to their toxicity, stability, and resistance to biodegradation. In recent years, green-synthesized nanomaterials have emerged as promising sustainable photocatalysts for efficient dye degradation under visible and solar-light irradiation. This review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in biogenic photocatalysts derived from plant extracts, microorganisms, and biowaste materials for eosin dye remediation. Particular emphasis is placed on photocatalytic degradation pathways, reactive oxygen species generation, charge-transfer mechanisms, and the role of S-scheme heterojunction-assisted photocatalysis in improving carrier separation and redox efficiency. The effects of operational parameters, including pH, catalyst dosage, irradiation source, and reaction time, are critically discussed alongside the relationships between catalyst structure, morphology, optical behavior, and photocatalytic performance. In addition, conventional and advanced analytical approaches used to investigate degradation pathways, interfacial charge-transfer kinetics, mineralization efficiency, and catalyst stability are highlighted. The review further discusses emerging multifunctional systems integrating dye degradation with photocatalytic hydrogen production and selective chemical synthesis, reflecting the transition from pollutant removal toward solar-driven energy conversion applications. Despite significant laboratory progress, challenges associated with catalyst recovery, stability, light penetration, and industrial-scale implementation remain substantial. Finally, future prospects involving immobilized photocatalysts, piezo-photocatalysis, ferroelectric modulation, coupled catalytic systems, and pilot-scale solar-driven technologies are presented as promising directions for sustainable environmental remediation and energy applications.
