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

Developing advanced polysulfone (PSF) membranes for water treatment has garnered significant attention. However, carboxylated polysulfone membranes have shown limited rejection of various ions. This study explores four novel methods for modifying carboxylated polysulfone membranes to enhance their performance: (a) crosslinking of the dicarboxylated membrane surface with polyethylenimine or ethylenediamine, (b) partial hydrolysis of ethylenediamine-crosslinked dicarboxylated membranes to create tailored pores and surface brushes with terminal amine groups, (c) attachment of alkyl brushes to the dicarboxylated membrane surface, and (d) formation of quaternary ammonium moieties at the membrane surface. All modified membranes were fully characterized, and their enhanced functionality was confirmed. For instance, the PSF-PEI membrane exhibited a 28% CaCl
