Advances in ultrasound-enhanced recovery of marine algal polysaccharides: toward sustainable bioprocessing.
Review in Ultrasonics sonochemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The growing emphasis on environmental sustainability has intensified interest in the extraction and valorization of polysaccharides from marine algal species due to their non-toxic nature and notable bioactivities. Although various conventional extraction techniques have been employed, these often involve high energy consumption, prolonged processing times, limited selectivity, and the potential degradation of polysaccharide bioactivity. To address these limitations, a range of sustainable and cost-effective extraction methods has been developed, including enzyme-assisted extraction (EAE), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), subcritical water extraction (SWE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). Among these, the UAE, either as a standalone method or integrated within a biorefinery framework, has emerged as a promising and green technology. It offers higher extraction efficiency with reduced time, energy, and cost requirements. Polysaccharides extracted via ultrasound (US) have demonstrated enhanced anticancer, bioactive, and rheological properties. Furthermore, integrating the UAE with green solvents, such as natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDESs), or complementary techniques, including MAE, hot water extraction (HWE), and EAE, has been shown to further improve yields by 2-6 % and enhance functional quality. This review highlights the potential of the UAE, both individually and in combination with other methods for the efficient recovery of algal polysaccharides. It also evaluates the influence of the UAE on the biofunctional properties of the extracted compounds, underscoring their applicability across diverse industrial sectors. Nonetheless, further research is warranted to optimize process parameters, ensure safety, enhance antioxidant activity (AOA), and improve purification and characterization, as well as better understand the structure-activity relationships of these valuable biopolymers.
