Functional polysaccharide-based biosorbents as efficient green alternatives for radionuclide removal from radioactive waste: a review.
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
Radioactive waste presents persistent environmental and health challenges, creating an urgent need for remediation materials that are not only effective and selective but also sustainable. Conventional treatment methods often suffer from high cost, limited selectivity, and secondary waste generation, prompting growing interest in biopolymer-based alternatives. Polysaccharides including chitosan, alginate, cellulose, starch, carrageenan, and pectin have emerged as highly promising platforms for radioactive ion removal due to their natural abundance, biodegradability, and rich surface chemistry. Their functional groups (hydroxyl, amino, carboxyl, and sulfate) enable strong coordination with diverse radionuclides, including actinides, fission products, and activation products. This review critically examines the structure-property relationships governing radionuclide adsorption by polysaccharide-based materials, with particular attention to chemical modification strategies, including grafting, cross-linking, phosphorylation, and hybridization. These approaches significantly enhance adsorption capacity, selectivity, and stability, with reported Uranium(vi) uptake exceeding 600 mg g
