Nanofilament-Coated Superhydrophobic Membranes Show Enhanced Flux and Fouling Resistance in Membrane Distillation.
Article in ACS applied materials & interfaces, 2023. 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
Membrane distillation (MD) is an important technique for brine desalination and wastewater treatment that may utilize waste or solar heat. To increase the distillation rate and minimize membrane wetting and fouling, we deposit a layer of polysiloxane nanofilaments on microporous membranes. In this way, composite membranes with multiscale pore sizes are created. The performance of these membranes in the air gap and direct contact membrane distillation was investigated in the presence of salt solutions, solutions containing bovine serum albumin, and solutions containing the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate. In comparison to conventional hydrophobic membranes, our multiscale porous membranes exhibit superior fouling resistance while attaining a higher distillation flux without using fluorinated compounds. This study demonstrates a viable method for optimizing MD processes for wastewater and saltwater treatment.
