Comprehensive review on fog collectors for drinking water supply in remote areas.
Review in Water science and technology : a journal of the International Association on Water Pollution Research, 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
Fog water harvesting has emerged as a promising and cost-effective solution to address water scarcity, particularly in remote and arid regions where conventional water supply systems are often unfeasible. This review highlights the potential of fog collectors for providing drinking water, with a focus on successful large fog collector projects worldwide. Despite their potential, sustainability challenges persist due to maintenance issues influenced by environmental conditions and social factors. Recent advancements in fog collection technologies are primarily achieved through the use of nanotechnology and structural improvements, aiming to develop efficient and low-cost fog collectors adaptable to diverse conditions. This paper critically examines the conceptual designs, experimental innovations, and operational performances of fog harvesting systems, specifically for drinking water supply in remote areas. By reviewing global successes and failures, it identifies key challenges and offers insights to enhance future research and practical applications, contributing to sustainable water resource management in regions with limited water access.
