Smart pH-Responsive Polyaniline-Coated Hollow Polymethylmethacrylate Microspheres: A Potential pH Neutralizer for Water Purification Systems.
Article in ACS omega, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Smart materials with potential pH controllability are gaining widespread concern due to their versatile applicability in water purification systems. A study presented here demonstrates a successful synthesis of smart pH-responsive polyaniline (PANI)-coated hollow polymethylmethacrylate microspheres (PHPMs) using a combination of solvent evaporation and in situ coating techniques. The material was characterized by using conventional techniques. Images recorded by an optical microscope displayed clear evidence in support of the coating, which was further supported by the SEM images. Surface roughness due to the coating was distinct in the SEM images. The PANI coating has enabled the microsphere to effectively neutralize the pH of water in water purification systems, which is very important in tackling the excessive acidic or basic problem of water resources. This study introduces a simple, facile, and cost-effective synthetic route to develop polyaniline-coated hollow polymethylmethacrylate microspheres with high performance as a pH-responsive material for water purification. The low density of the material and relatively large surface area compared to conventionally used chemicals further enhance the application prospect of the material.
