Microalgae-based integrated treatment of tannery wastewater: emphasizing microbial synergy for sustainable remediation.
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
Tannery wastewater (TWW) presents a complex and toxic mixture of pollutants, including heavy metals such as chromium, cadmium, lead, and nickel, as well as organic compounds, surfactants, sulfides, chlorides, and dyes. Conventional treatment methods often lead to high operational costs, sludge generation, and disposal issues. This review critically examines the integration of microalgae-based systems with physical, chemical, and biological methods for advanced TWW remediation, emphasising mechanistic insights and consortia-driven treatment. Microalgae facilitate pollutant removal through biosorption, bioaccumulation, enzymatic transformation, and the mitigation of oxidative stress. Specific enzymatic mechanisms, such as chromate reductase-mediated Cr(vi) reduction and peroxidase-driven degradation of phenolics, enable precise detoxification at the cellular level. In multi-species consortia, synergistic interactions optimise nutrient uptake, broaden substrate specificity, and enhance EPS-mediated heavy metal immobilisation. This review delineates how microalgae-bacteria, microalgae-fungi, and microalgae-microalgae systems contribute distinct advantages
