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

Most parts of the earth are covered with water, but only 0.3% of it is available to living beings. Industrial growth, fast urbanization, and poor water management have badly affected the water quality. In recent years, a transition has been seen from the traditional (physical, chemical) wastewater treatment methods towards a greener, sustainable, and scalable membrane technology. Even though membrane technology offers a green pathway to address the wastewater treatment issue on a larger scale, the fabrication of polymeric membranes from toxic solvents is an obstacle in making it a fully green method. The concept of green chemistry has encouraged scientists to engage in research for new biodegradable and non-protic solvents to replace with already existing toxic ones. This review outlines the use of non-toxic solvents for the preparation of PVDF membranes and their application in membrane distillation and membrane crystallization.
