A Novel Delayed Phase Inversion Strategy Enables Green PVDF Membranes for Membrane Distillation.
Article in Membranes, 2024. 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
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes are extensively utilized in membrane distillation (MD) for water treatment. However, traditional methods easily form asymmetrical membranes with dense skin layers that are detrimental to membrane flux. Herein, an eco-friendly PVDF membrane was fabricated by utilizing a delayed phase separation process without using any pore-forming agents. In addition, methyl-5-(dimethylamino)-2-methyl-5-oxopentanoate (PolarClean) was used as a green solvent without posing risks to humans and the environment. It was demonstrated that the PVDF concentration is crucial in influencing the microstructures and performance of the resulting membranes. As the PVDF concentration increased, the morphology changed significantly, resulting in a reduction of pore size. When feeding the device with NaCl solution at a concentration of 35 g/L, the MD water vapor flux reached 18.49 kg·m
