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

Ultrafiltration (UF) is increasingly used in the food industry and for wastewater treatment and water reuse. Knowledge of the membrane properties that stabilise during the initial period of module operation in an industrial plant is essential for design purposes. This paper presents the experimental tests carried out using a pilot plant with an industrial PCI B1 membrane module. The module was equipped with tubular FP100 (100 kDa) polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes used to separate carwash wastewater. The effect of membrane compaction during the first few days of the process on changes in permeate flux and dextran (40-500 kDa) separation rate was investigated. The effect of fouling, membrane washing with P3 Ultrasill 11 solution (pH = 12) and maintenance with sodium metabisulfite solution on the stabilisation of the technological performance of the plant was determined.
