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

Wood-based membranes have garnered increasing attention due to their structural advantages and durability in the efficient treatment of oily kitchen wastewater. However, conventional fabrication methods often rely on toxic chemicals or synthetic processes, generating secondary pollutants and suffering from fouling, which reduces performance and increases resource loss. In this study, an innovative bilayer membrane was developed from balsa wood by combining a hydrophilic longitudinal layer for water transport with a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-impregnated carbonized transverse layer to enhance hydrophobicity, resulting in increased separation efficiency and a reduction in fouling by 98.38%. The results show a high permeation flux of 1176.86 Lm
