Active Polymers Decorated with Major Acid Groups for Water Treatment: Potentials and Challenges.
Review in Polymers, 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
Polymers exhibiting ion-conduction capabilities are essential components of water-purifying devices. These polymers not only transport selective ions but are also mechanically robust; thus, they can be processed as membranes. In this review, we highlight major acidic polymers and their engineered morphologies and optimized properties, including metal selectivity and water permeation or retention. Crucial phenomena, such as self-assembly in acid-group-functionalized polymers for driving water transportation, are discussed. It was observed that the phosphonic acid groups containing polymers are rather suitable for the selective adsorption of toxic metals, and thus, are superior to their sulfonated counterparts. Additionally, due to their amphoteric nature, phosphonated polymers displayed several modes of metal complexations, which makes them appropriate for eliminating a wide range of metals. Further observation indicates that aromatic-acid-functionalized polymers are more durable. Temperature- and pH-responsive polymers were also found to be promising candidates for a controlled water-treatment process. Nevertheless, considering the morphology, water retention, and metal adsorption, acid-functionalized polymers, especially phosphonated ones, have the potential to remain as the materials of choice after additional advancements. Further perspectives regarding improvements in acidic polymers and their fabricated membranes for water treatment are presented.
