1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Over the past decades, desalination by reverse osmosis (RO) membranes has attracted increasing attention. Although RO has proven its efficiency, it remains, however, relatively costly because of the use of high-pressure pumps and the low water permeability of conventional cross-linked polymer membranes. One route to improve the desalination performance consists of using membranes made from sub-nanoporous boron nitride (sNBN) monolayers. Indeed, by using molecular dynamics simulations, we report here that the water permeability of such sNBN membranes far exceeds that of conventional RO polymer membranes and is even higher than that of nanoporous graphene while the ion rejection remains close to 100%. At the same time, the molecular mechanism of water and ion transport through sNBN has been elucidated, with special attention paid to the impact of ions on water permeability through sNBN membranes.
