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

Five hydrophobic eutectic solvents based on menthol and thymol were prepared and incorporated into a poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) network to form eutectogel membranes. The two most promising eutectogels were further optimized by adding ethyl hexylacrylate (HA) to the eutectogel formulation to improve the compatibility between the eutectic solvent and polymer network and to enhance the water resistance of the resulting membranes. Thermal analysis confirmed the successful formation and integration of eutectic solvents within the polymer network. Rheological studies demonstrated the rubber-like behavior of the prepared hydrophobic eutectogels, with menthol-based variants exhibiting superior mechanical properties. Finally, sorption experiments were conducted using the optimized octanoic acid:menthol PEGDA-HA eutectogel to evaluate its efficiency in removing various contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), including diclofenac, iopromide, cefazolin, bisphenol A, and dichlorophenol. The results revealed high sorption capacities for bisphenol A (3213 mg⋅kg
