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

Recovering ammonia from wastewater by membrane distillation (MD) is a sustainable approach to remediating environmental issues while simultaneously conserving energy both in wastewater treatment and in the Haber-Bosch process. MD leverages the volatility of ammonia to enhance ammonia transport, and hence its performance is impacted by the pH of the solution. We comprehensively investigated the effect of pH on ammonia transport and recovery efficiency using both experimental and simulation approaches. Our analyses provide new insights into how solution pH significantly impacts ammonia recovery through two primary mechanisms: it both governs the ammonia-ammonium equilibrium and influences the ammonia mass transfer coefficient. When changing MD feed solution pH from 9 to 10, ammonia flux is enhanced by 177% and ammonia mass transfer coefficient increases from 2.64 × 10
