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

Among the various methods for recovering lignin from black liquor, membrane separation has gained prominence in the paper industry due to its advantages of uniform molecular weight distribution, high recovery rates, and absence of secondary pollution. However, over time, lignin particles tend to deposit and form a cake layer on the membrane surface, leading to membrane fouling and a decline in filtration flux. To address this issue, this study investigates the construction of ceramic membranes with radial rib patterns, and examines the effects of different trans-membrane pressure differences and radial rib patterns on membrane surface shear force and particle deposition. The research findings indicate that at a trans-membrane pressure difference of 0.5 bar and a blade rotation speed of 1000 r/min, the membrane surface experiences the highest shear force. Compared with those without patterns, ceramic membranes with radial rib patterns can more effectively delay the deposition of particles. Furthermore, it was observed that ceramic membranes combining coarse and fine rib patterns exhibit a more pronounced increase in membrane surface shear force.
