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

This study develops water treatment membranes using an innovative surface modifier comprising threaded supramolecular assemblies formed by hydrophilic cyclodextrin (CD) and low-surface-energy polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). These supramolecular constructs establish dynamic hydrophilic and low-surface-energy heterogeneous microdomains that enhance synergistic resistance-release antifouling mechanisms. The modified membranes demonstrate better antifouling performance compared to conventional systems, particularly addressing the critical limitation of traditional membranes under low tangential flow conditions. The Brownian motion of the CDs sustains microdomain activity to prevent foulant accumulation in static environments, while tangential flow amplifies dynamic interactions to accelerate foulant detachment. The threading configuration of CDs along PDMS chains prevents water channel blockage caused by PDMS aggregation and facilitates water transport through the dynamic mobility of CDs.
