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

The implementation of wastewater management strategies and wastewater treatment techniques, such as reverse osmosis (RO), has been increasing to promote environmental sustainability and reduce freshwater consumption. Municipal secondary effluent is a promising source for reuse and reducing the strain on freshwater consumption. Still, its diverse foulant composition promotes the fouling of polyamide RO membranes, leading to performance decline. In this study, 3-allyl-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (ADMH) was grafted onto thin-film composite RO membranes at varying concentrations via graft polymerization. The membranes were tested against foulant solutions of
