Removal of pharmaceutical pollutants by adsorption onto novel metal-organic frameworks.
Review in Environmental science and pollution research international, 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 presence of new pollutants in the environment could lead to both direct and indirect water contamination, endangering human and marine health life. Pharmaceutical contaminants are becoming more prevalent in the environment due to their persistence and therefore there is urgent attention to develop necessitating technological interventions to eliminate them. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a type of crystalline material with a large surface area, significant pore size, and strong chemical structure in environmental settings. Research interest in MOFs has increased recently, as they have proven to be effective in removing pharmaceutical pollutants through the adsorption process. This review highlights the effectiveness of various MOF architectures in removing pharmaceutical pollutants from aqueous environments. The review further elaborates on different synthesis methods, functionalization techniques, and adsorption mechanisms in detail. The study reveals that while there has been significant research on the adsorption of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents from water using MOFs, there is a lack of information on other types of pharmaceutical agents that also pose risks to human health in the environment. Moreover, the study reports for the first time detailed literature on the adsorptive removal of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory pollutants from water during the period 2015 to 2024. The current review suggests that more attention should be given to phytonanoparticle-MOF nanocomposites for pharmaceutical waste removal, as this could lead to innovative solutions for water purification systems.
