Hierarchical triple-channel architectures unlock scalable and high-efficient uranium extraction from seawater.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The ocean holds ~4.5 billion tons of uranium, a vast yet underexploited resource for sustainable nuclear energy. However, current seawater uranium adsorbents suffer from poor macroscale structures, limited mass transfer, and inefficient functional group utilization. Here, we report a bioinspired honeycomb-like polyamidoxime adsorbent featuring an interconnected hierarchical triple-channel architecture (HTC-PAO) that addresses these challenges. Its hierarchical structure incorporates millimeter-scale honeycomb channels, sub-millimeter transverse channels, and intrinsic micropores. The adsorbent is 100 times thicker than conventional hydrogels, enabling practical deployment in marine environments while maintaining excellent adsorption performance. Mass transfer analysis and COMSOL simulations reveal two synergistic pathways: (1) accelerated laminar flow through macrochannels (Reynolds number Re = 922.50) and (2) diffusion-enhanced transport within microchannels (effective diffusivity D
