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

Layered graphene oxide (GO) has emerged as an ideal membrane structure for water desalination. In GO-stacked structures, the slit gaps between GO nanosheets can serve as critical pathways for molecule permeation. Exploring the permeation mechanisms of functionalized GO nanoslits is critical for improving the separation performance. Herein, molecular simulations were performed to investigate the water permeation and ion rejection for six types of ionic solutions by considering edge-amino functionalized GO (NGO) slit membranes. The NGO slit exhibits higher ion retention while maintaining reasonable water permeability. Edge amine groups can interact strongly with water molecules and immobilize ions, thus enhancing ion rejection. The thermodynamic free energy for ion passing was simulated to explain the unique ion rejection mechanism of amine-functionalized GO slits. The thermodynamic barrier for ion rejection can be considered as the delicate combination of the ion dehydration effect and the slit-generated attraction. The ion dehydration accounts for a repulsive contribution, which is the controlling portion in governing the free-energy profile. Overall, our work is important and valuable for the development and design of new-type layered GO membranes.
