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
The global water scarcity crisis requires urgent action to improve wastewater treatment and develop sustainable water resources. This study focuses on producing Thin Film Composite (TFC) membranes based on polyethylene terephthalate track membranes (PET-TM) coated with polytetrafluorethylene-like material (PTFE), named PET-TM/PTFE-like, designed to purify saline water using Air Gap Membrane Distillation (AGMD) technique. The research emphasizes the optimization of these membranes' chemical composition and surface characteristics by plasma that enhances their hydrophobicity and overall operational efficiency. A systematic investigation was conducted to clarify the relationship between water flux and salt rejection, enabling the customization of membrane properties for better performance. It was shown that salt rejection exceeding 99% is obtained for all the investigated PET-TM/PTFE-like membranes, with values up to 99.63% for the PET-TM(250 nm)/PTFE-like(200 nm) system and condensate flows as high as 1325 g/m
