Membranes for olefin-paraffin separation: An industrial perspective.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
In the next decade, separation science will be an important research topic in addressing complex challenges like reducing carbon footprint, lowering energy cost, and making industrial processes simpler. In industrial chemical processes, particularly in petrochemical operations, separation and product refining steps are responsible for up to 30% of energy use and 30% of the capital cost. Membranes and adsorption technologies are being actively studied as alternative and partial replacement opportunities for the state-of-the-art cryogenic distillation systems. This paper provides an industrial perspective on the application of membranes in industrial petrochemical cracker operations. A gas separation performance figure of merit for propylene/propane separation for different classes of materials ranging from inorganic, carbon, polymeric, and facilitated transport membranes is also reported. An in-house-developed model provided insights into the importance of operational parameters on the overall membrane design.
