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

Crystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit enormous potential application in gas separation, thanks to their highly porous structures and precise pore size distributions. Nevertheless, the inherent limitations in mechanical stability of crystalline MOFs cause challenges in processing MOF powders into bulky structures, particularly for membrane filtrations. Melt-quenched MOF glasses boast excellent processability due to liquid-like properties. However, the melting process diminishes the inherent porosity, leading to reduced gas adsorption capacities and lower gas diffusion coefficients. In this work, we demonstrated that enhancing the porosity of MOF glasses is achievable through topological engineering on the crystalline precursors. Crystalline zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) with large 12-membered rings pores, including AFI and CAN topology, were synthesized by using both structure-directing agents and mixed organic ligands. The large pores are partially preserved in the melt-quenched glass as evidenced by high-pressure CO
