Nanoremediation of arsenic from contaminated water by new generation graphene-based nanomaterials: a comprehensive 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
Water contamination by metals and metalloids, particularly arsenic (As), is a serious global issue and a pressing challenge for countries with limited water resources. Since As is derived both from natural sources and human activities, including industrial effluents, agricultural runoff, and domestic sewage water discharges, it poses a severe threat to biodiversity, ecosystems, and human health due to its toxicity, carcinogenicity, and mutagenicity, even at trace levels. Traditional remediation methods for As removal from water media, including coagulation, reverse osmosis, and adsorption, are increasingly popular due to low cost and higher removal efficiency. However, recent advances in adsorption research have focused on the development of nanostructured materials with superior physicochemical properties and higher removal efficiencies compared to conventional treatment methods. The high porosity, low density, mechanical strength, and exceptional electrochemical properties of graphene (G)-based nanomaterials distinguish them from other metallic and other polymeric nanomaterials. These new generation GO-based nanomaterials, such as ultra-thin layers of graphene atoms, 2D materials, and nanofibrous sheets, are also efficient remedies for HMs, particularly As, from wastewater. The efficiency and stability of arsenic removal are further improved by nanocomposites, such as GO-polymer hybrids, GO-chitosan, GO-ZnO, GO-cellulose, Fe-functionalized GO, and reduced GO. For environmental remediation, these advanced nanohybrids offer sustainable, high-performance solutions. The present review synthesizes insights from nearly 200 research papers and review articles indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar, focusing on As removal from wastewater utilizing graphene-based nanomaterials. It also highlights the sources and toxicity of As, limitations of traditional treatment methods, and the enhanced adsorption capabilities of graphene-derived materials and their composites. Overall, this review provides a concise and integrated perspective on current advancements, existing challenges, and future directions for next-generation graphene-based membrane technologies for effective As remediation.
