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

Thin-film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis (RO) membranes encounter a significant trade-off between water permeability and selectivity. This study presents a mechanism to address this limitation by altering the structure of the polyamide (PA) layer. By incorporating layered double hydroxides (LDH) and sodium lignosulfonate (SL), we establish differential diffusion resistances during interfacial polymerization (IP). This approach facilitates the diffusion of m-phenylenediamine (MPD) across the interface while concurrently inhibiting it in the bulk phase, thereby inducing spatial fluctuations in monomer diffusion. The resulting heterogeneous polymerization dynamics yield a thin, highly wrinkled PA layer that promotes ultrafast water transport. Moreover, the hydrophilic sulfonic groups (-SO
