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

This paper presented an effective way to select monomers to fabricate active layers for the thin-film composite (TFC) membrane at the molecular level. Five types of diamine monomers and six acid chloride monomers were firstly selected by a conformer search process. Then, the conceptual density functional theory (CDFT) method was adopted to examine the properties of these monomers. A few different molecular properties were calculated, including relative energy, hydrogen bond, global/local/difference local softness, hardness, chemical potential, and electrophilicity index. Similarly, polyamides that were the productions of interfacial polymerization reaction were also analyzed by CDFT. Our results showed that the mixture of trimesoyl chloride (TMC) and m-phenylenediamine (MPD) for the interfacial polymerization was ideal synthetic materials to fabricate the active layer of TFC membranes.
