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.
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
Conventional polymeric membrane manufacturing faces significant limitations, including reliance on harsh chemicals, limited geometrical shapes (primarily flat sheets and hollow fibers), low resolution, and slow production speeds. This study introduces an innovative approach for 3D printing complex-shaped membranes with tailored properties, utilizing polymerization-induced phase separation (PIPS) and masked stereolithography (MSLA). The influence of processing parameters, including resin volume, irradiation duration, and temperature, on membrane characteristics-such as pore size, porosity, thickness, surface morphology, water permeability, and rejection rate- is systematically investigated. The findings indicate that this method can fabricate membranes with a wide range of pore sizes and porosities. The membrane architecture comprises interconnected nodules, the dimensions of which are contingent upon the processing conditions. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that PIPS facilitates the phase inversion of thermosets and the incorporation of environmentally friendly biobased solvents, thereby broadening the scope of membrane fabrication with novel polymers.
