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

Porous membranes, either polymeric or two-dimensional materials, have been extensively studied because of their outstanding performance in many applications such as water filtration. Recently, inspired by the significant success of machine learning (ML) in many areas of scientific discovery, researchers have started to tackle the problem in the field of membrane design using data-driven ML tools. In this Mini Review, we summarize research efforts on three types of applications of machine learning in membrane design, including (1) membrane property prediction using ML, (2) gaining physical insight and drawing quantitative relationships between membrane properties and performance using explainable artificial intelligence, and (3) ML-guided design, optimization, or virtual screening of membranes. On top of the review of previous research, we discuss the challenges associated with applying ML for membrane design and potential future directions.
