Numerical evaluation of sweeping gas membrane distillation for desalination of water towards water sustainability and environmental protection.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Sweeping gas membrane distillation (SGMD) is considered a membrane distillation configuration. It uses an air stream to collect the water vapour. A 2D mathematical model is prepared in the current study to predict the effect of various operating parameters on the SGMD performance. Also, the temperature distribution in the SGMD was obtained. The effect of air inlet temperature, salt concentration, feed and air flowrate on air and salted solution outlet temperature and vapour flux through the membrane is investigated. There was good agreement between experimental data and modelling outputs. It was found that increase in air inlet temperature from 40 to 72 °C was increased the outlet temperature of air stream and cold solution from 37 to 63 °C and 38 to 65 °C respectively. Furthermore, increase in air inlet temperature led to the enhancement of vapour flux in the membrane distillation. Also, the salt concentration and feed flow rate did not have meaningful influence on the outlet temperatures, however, the flux was increased by increasing feed flowrate.
