Optimizing Pretreatment Parameters for Enhanced Phosphorus Recovery from High-Phosphorus Wastewater via Nanofiltration.
Article in Membranes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The effects of pretreatment pH value, operating pressure, and concentration factors on the performance of nanofiltration membrane concentration and the recovery of phosphorus-containing wastewater were systematically studied. A novel pretreatment strategy using solid sodium hydroxide was developed to adjust the feed solution pH, achieving optimal solid removal and minimized conductivity at pH = 5. Unlike conventional calcium-based methods, this approach avoids excessive chemical sludge formation and mitigates membrane scaling, enhancing system stability. Experimental results demonstrate that both phosphorus rejection and desalination efficiency are significantly influenced by feed solution pH, operating pressure, and concentration ratio. While increasing pH and pressure improve total phosphorus (TP) rejection and desalination rates, these benefits are accompanied by reduced membrane flux due to elevated osmotic pressure and intensified concentration polarization. The membrane exhibited optimal performance at a feed pH of 5 and an operating pressure of 3 MPa, with sustained flux and enhanced separation efficiency. Under these conditions, when the wastewater was concentrated fivefold at 25 °C, the TP rejection rate and desalination efficiency reached 92.9% and 91.8%, respectively.
