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

The adoption of polymeric membranes for reclamation of natural organic pollutant-impacted water has been of recent interest. However, membrane fouling has been an obstacle in the application of membranes over a longer period. Fouling, which is mainly caused by organic materials, is a universal challenge in membrane technology for water treatment. The hydrophobic nature of poly-(ether sulfone) (PES) membranes has a high affinity toward organic compounds. To elevate this challenge, in this study, hydrophilic brushes of poly-(acrylic acid) (PAA) were grafted onto the PES backbone using free radical graft polymerization. The successful grafting of PAA brushes on PES was confirmed through characterization using Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry,
