Surface modification of a PES membrane by corona air plasma-assisted grafting of HB-PEG for separation of oil-in-water emulsions.
Article in RSC advances, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The main goal of this study is to modify a polyethersulfone (PES) membrane by grafting with hyperbranched polyethylene glycol (HB-PEG) using corona air plasma to intensify the anti-fouling properties of the prepared membrane. The separation efficiency and fouling tendency of the modified membranes were evaluated for the treatment of a synthetic oily wastewater. A mechanism was proposed for the HB-PEG grafting on the surface of the corona treated PES membranes and all steps of the grafting were described in detail. The effects of corona treatment operating conditions on the morphology, surface properties, separation performance and anti-fouling efficiency of the modified PES membranes were investigated. Also, the HB-PEG grafted PES membranes were characterized by FTIR, AFM and contact angle analysis. Finally, the HB-PEG grafting on the surface of the PES membranes altered the surface hydrophilicity and led to the improvement of the anti-fouling property and oil-water permeation flux of all modified membranes without any remarkable changes in oil rejection.
