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

Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) are infrastructure-compatible media for hydrogen storage and transport under ambient conditions, addressing hydrogen's volatility, low density, and high reactivity. Separating liquid hydrogen-lean/hydrogen-rich hydrocarbons without resorting to energy-intensive phase changes is a key barrier to LOHC system implementation. Membrane operations that can separate hydrogen-lean/hydrogen-rich species can drive equilibria of dehydrogenation processes, enabling them to run at lower temperatures. Here, new photopolymerized mixed-matrix membranes composed of a cyclic monomer and a metal organic framework (MOF)/palladium-doped activated carbon mixture are presented. By leveraging an in situ photopolymerization strategy, high-filler-loaded mixed-matrix membranes exhibiting ideal aromatic/aliphatic selectivities of ≈12 and a toluene/methylcyclohexane (MCH) separation factor of 1.8 for membranes with filler loading of 20 wt.% are fabricated. This fabrication approach enables high filler loadings in the monomer and, for multi-layer films, delivers a stratified structure where it induces the formation of multiple internal polymeric dense "skin" layers, which is ideal for the promotion of selective transport. It is compared that the early studies reported using only commonly reported metrics, rejection versus mixture permeance, with the present system, demonstrating the highest performance to date. This work highlights a high-performance solvent nanofiltration platform for LOHC separation aligned with sustainable hydrogen production goals.
