Enhanced Fouling Resistance and Antimicrobial Property of Ultrafiltration Membranes Via Polyelectrolyte-Assisted Silver Phosphate Nanoparticle Immobilization.
Article in Membranes, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a low-pressure membrane that yields higher permeate flux and saves significant operating costs compared to high-pressure membranes; however, studies addressing the combined improvement of anti-organic and biofouling properties of UF membranes are lacking. This study investigated the fouling resistance and antimicrobial property of a UF membrane via silver phosphate nanoparticle (AgPNP) embedded polyelectrolyte (PE) functionalization. Negatively charged polyacrylic acid (PAA) and positively charged polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) were deposited on the membrane using a fluidic layer-by-layer assembly technique. AgPNPs were immobilized within the crosslinked "bilayers" (BL) of PAH/PAA. The effectiveness of AgPNP immobilization was confirmed by microprofile measurements on membrane surfaces using a solid contact Ag micro-ion-selective electrode. Upon stable and uniform BL formation on the membrane surface, the permeate flux was governed by a combined effect of PAH/PAA-derived hydrophilicity and surface/pore coverage by the BLs "tightening" of the membrane. When fouled by a model organic foulant (humic acid), the functionalized membrane exhibited a lower flux decline and a greater flux recovery due to the electrostatic repulsion imparted by PAA when compared to the unmodified membrane. The functionalization rendered antimicrobial property, as indicated by fewer attachments of bacteria that initiate the formation of biofilms leading to biofouling.
