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

In this study, functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-NH2) were synthesized as an additive for the preparation of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) and then were investigated by FTIR and FE-SEM techniques. Polyether sulfone (PES) polymeric membrane modified with functionalized MWCNT-NH2 carbon nanotubes was prepared by phase inversion method. The effect of MWCNT-NH2 on the morphology and property of the PES membrane was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy. The flux, enrichment factor and swelling properties of modified membranes were also used to investigate the membranes performance. The results showed that the flux and enrichment factor in modified PES membrane containing 5 wt.% of functionalized MWCNT-NH2 carbon nanotubes were obtained 1.2 L.m-2h-1 and 3.3, respectively. The influence of methanol concentration on the flux and enrichment factor was investigated. The results corroborated that the flux didn't change significantly, while the enrichment factor was decreased.
