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

With daily oil consumption approaching 100 million barrels, the global demand continues to generate significant quantities of oily wastewater during oil extraction, refining, and transportation, and the development of effective oil-water separation technologies has become crucial. However, membrane corrosion is a challenge under the harsh conditions involved. Here, we are inspired by the lotus leaf to create a corrosion-resistant and robust superhydrophobic membrane using a general spraying method. By using this spraying process to apply the Graphene@PDMS heptane dispersion onto the mesh substrate, we create a biomimetic corrosion-resistant and robust superhydrophobic stainless steel mesh (SSM). The modified SSM can still maintain superhydrophobic properties after soaking in a strong acidity solution (pH = 1), robust alkalinity solution (pH = 14), or NaCl solution (15 days), which demonstrates excellent chemical stability. Moreover, the modified SSM shows strong mechanical stability during ultrasonic treatment for 2 h. The superhydrophobic SSM can be used to separate various kinds of oils from water with high flux and separation efficiency. It shows a high flux of 27,400 L·m
