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
Membrane fouling is an inevitable obstacle of polyamide composite forward osmosis (FO) membranes in oily wastewater treatment. In this study, zwitterionic arginine (Arg) is grafted onto nascent self-made FO polyamide poly(ether sulfone) (PA-PES) membrane, imparting superior hydrophilic, antifouling, and antibacterial properties to the membrane. Detailed characterizations revealed that the Arg-modified (Arg-PES) membrane presented obviously surface positively charged and unique morphology. Results showed that our strategy endowed the optimized membrane, the water flux increased by 113.2% compared to the pristine membrane, respectively, meanwhile keeping high NaCl rejection > 93.9% (with DI water as feed solution and 0.5 M NaCl as draw solution, FO mode). The dynamic fouling tests indicated that the Arg-PES membranes exhibited much improved antifouling performance towards oily wastewater treatment. The flux recovery ratios of the membrane were as high as 92.0% for cationic emulsified oil (cetyl pyridinium chloride, CPC), 87.0% for neutral emulsified oil (Tween-80), and 86.0% for anionic emulsified oil (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS) after washing, respectively. Meanwhile, the Arg-PES membranes assembled with guanidine cationic groups exhibited an enhanced antibacterial property against
