Nanoparticle-assisted microbial remediation as a potential approach to groundwater fluoride contamination.
Review in 3 Biotech, 2025. 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
Fluoride (F⁻) contamination in groundwater poses a critical threat to global public health, particularly in regions reliant on untreated aquifers for drinking water. While conventional defluoridation methods such as precipitation, coagulation, reverse osmosis, and ion exchange have shown effectiveness, their limitations in cost, efficiency, and sustainability necessitate alternative solutions. This review explores nanoparticle-assisted microbial remediation as a promising hybrid approach for fluoride removal. The integration of nanomaterials with microbial systems enhances defluoridation efficiency by combining high surface area adsorption, targeted pollutant interaction, and bioactivity. Nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide, and metal oxides (e.g., Fe₃O₄, MgO, ZrO₂) offer high fluoride affinity, tunable surface properties, and reusability. When coupled with microbial agents like
