Controlling nanochannel orientation and dimensions in graphene-based nanofluidic membranes.
Article in Nature communications, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
There is great interest in exploiting van der Waals gaps in layered materials as nanofluidic channels. Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets are known to spontaneously assemble into stacked planar membranes with transport properties that are highly selective to molecular structure. Use of conventional GO membranes in liquid-phase applications is often limited by low flux values, due to intersheet nanochannel alignment perpendicular to the desired Z-directional transport, which leads to circuitous fluid pathways that are orders of magnitude longer than the membrane thickness. Here we demonstrate an approach that uses compressive instability in Zr-doped GO thin films to create wrinkle patterns that rotate nanosheets to high angles. Capturing this structure in polymer matrices and thin sectioning produce fully dense membranes with arrays of near-vertically aligned nanochannels. These robust nanofluidic devices offer pronounced reduction in fluid path-length, while retaining the high selectivity for water over non-polar molecules characteristic of GO interlayer nanochannels.
