Development of Ultrafiltration Kaolin Membranes over Sand and Zeolite Supports for the Treatment of Electroplating Wastewater.
Article in Membranes, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A high cost of high-purity materials is one of the major factors that limit the application of ceramic membranes. Consequently, the focus was shifted to using natural and abundant low-cost materials such as zeolite, clay, sand, etc. as alternatives to well-known pure metallic oxides, such as alumina, silica, zirconia and titania, which are usually used for ceramic membrane fabrication. As a contribution to this area, the development and characterization of new low-cost ultrafiltration (UF) membranes made from natural Tunisian kaolin are presented in this work. The asymmetric ceramic membranes were developed via layer-by-layer and slip-casting methods by direct coating on tubular supports previously prepared from sand and zeolite via the extrusion process. Referring to the results, it was found that the UF kaolin top layer is homogenous and exhibits good adhesion to different supports. In addition, the kaolin/sand and kaolin/zeolite membranes present an average pore diameter in the range of 4-17 nm and 28 nm, and water permeability of 491 L/h·m
