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

Covalent organic framework (COF) membranes have garnered significant attention in ion separation due to their high surface area, tunable pore size, excellent stability, and diverse functional groups. Over the past decade, various synthesis methods, such as solvothermal synthesis, interfacial synthesis, microwave-assisted solvothermal synthesis, and in situ growth, have been developed to fabricate COF membranes. COF membranes have demonstrated remarkable ion separation performance in different separation processes driven by pressure, electric field, and vapor pressure difference, showing great potential in a wide range of applications. Nevertheless, challenges in the synthesis and application of COF membranes still remain, requiring further research to fully realize their potential in ion separation. This review critically examines the development of COF membranes, from synthesis methods to ion separation applications. We evaluate the advantages and limitations of various synthesis techniques and systematically summarize COF membrane performance based on separation driving forces. Finally, we present a critical analysis of current challenges and offer perspectives on promising future research directions for advancing COF membrane technology in separation.
