3D printing for sustainable water treatment: innovations, applications, and future perspectives.
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 is a vital resource essential for daily life, agriculture, and industrial activities. However, the availability of clean and safe water is threatened by the rapid expansion of modern industrialization. In response to these environmental challenges, innovative and sustainable water treatment technologies have become imperative for ensuring eco-friendly and sustainable water purification solutions. Among these emerging technologies, three-dimensional (3D) printing has gained attention for its unique advantages, including unparalleled design adaptability, scalability, material choice, and steadily declining costs with minimal byproduct generation. In particular, 3D printing has revolutionized membrane technology, enabling the layer-by-layer construction of ultra-thin membranes and membrane modules from a wide range of materials, with intricate hierarchical structures and various morphologies that are not possible with traditional production techniques. The current review aims to comprehensively summarize and critically discuss recent advancements in the application of 3D printing technologies for fabricating efficient and customizable membrane systems for wastewater treatment. It also highlights the versatility of 3D-printed materials and structures, the integration of multifunctional components, and the role of material modification in enhancing filtration performance. Furthermore, this review discusses the key challenges, current limitations, and future perspectives to guide further research and development in this field.
