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

This study introduces a biomimetic approach to 3D printing multilayered hierarchical porous membranes (MHMs) using Direct Ink Writing (DIW) technology. Fabricated through a fast layer-by-layer printing process with varying concentrations of pore-forming agents, the produced MHMs mimic the hierarchical pore structure and filtration capabilities of natural soil systems. As a result, the 3D-printed MHMs achieved an impressive oil rejection rate of 99.02% and demonstrated exceptional reusability, maintaining a flux recovery ratio of 99.48% even after hours of continuous filtration. Moreover, the 3D-printed MHMs exhibit superior hierarchical porous architecture and mechanical integrity compared to traditional flat sheet single-layered membranes. This study presents a significant advancement for scalable 3D printing of customized multilayer membranes with tailored porosity and high-performance filtration properties. The simplicity, versatility, and cost-effectiveness of the presented manufacturing method offer a pathway for advanced design and on-demand membrane production.
