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

The present work deals with the modification of casting solutions for polysulfone gas separation membranes fabricated by wet-phase inversion. The aim was to fabricate membranes with thin gas separation layers below one micrometer of thickness and a sponge-like support structure. With decreasing thicknesses of the separation layers, increasing permselectivities were observed. For the first time, we could show that permeabilities and diffusion coefficients of certain gases are orders of magnitude lower in separation layers of membranes below 500 Å of thickness compared to separation layers with a thickness above 1 micrometer. These results indicate that the selection of the solvent system has a huge impact on the membrane properties and that the permeability and diffusion coefficient are not material-related properties. Thus, they cannot be applied as specific indicators for gas-separating polymers. In this publication, scanning electron microscopy and gas permeation measurements were carried out to prove the gas separation properties and morphologies of polysulfone membranes.
