Repurposing of End-of-Life Dialysate Production Polymeric Membrane for Achieving Sustainable Hemodialysis Process Water Management.
Article in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Polymeric reverse osmosis (RO) membranes are critical for producing ultrapure water for hemodialysis process, but once they reach their end-of-life (EoL) stage, mainly due to fouling, they are usually discarded-adding to the growing challenges of medical waste management. This study explores a sustainable alternative by rehabilitating EoL thin-film composite (TFC) membrane and its reuse in recovery of spent dialysate. Using different cleaning agents that included citric acid (CA), EDTA, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), the mixture of CA and SLS (1:1) exhibited the most effective combination for balanced flux recovery, salt rejection, and creatinine clearance at lower TMP, achieving 90% conductivity reduction, 46.89 L/m
