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

Hemodialysis is a critical treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who lack kidney transplant options. The compatibility of hemodialysis membranes is vital, as incompatibility can trigger inflammation, coagulation, and immune responses, potentially increasing morbidity and mortality among patients with ESRD. This study employed molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) and molecular docking to assess the hemocompatible properties of Polyether Sulfone (PES) membranes modified via two distinct amine functionalization techniques. The molecular docking results demonstrated that side amine functionalization exhibited a lower affinity energy (-7.6) for fibrinogen compared to the middle amine functionalization (-8.2), suggesting enhanced antifouling properties and superior hemocompatibility. Additionally, side amine functionalization formed hydrogen bonds with four amino acids, enhancing its resistance to protein adhesion compared to three amino acids in the middle amine structure. Furthermore, the molecular dynamics simulations revealed differences in water mobility, with the side amine functionalized membranes showing a lower mobility value (9.74 × 10
