Advanced electrically conductive carbon nanotubes-PVDF composite membranes with electro-promoted water treatment performance.
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 1 paper.
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
Decentralized water supply is essential for providing clean and safe drinking water, especially in underdeveloped regions. Membrane technology is a key process for removing pathogens and suspended solids from polluted water sources. This study constructs electrically conductive membranes (ECMs) using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) confined within polarized poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) through C-F interactions. The resulting membranes achieve ultrahigh water permeance, 3.5 to 5.2 times higher than four commercial polymer membranes with similar pore sizes. They maintain good electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. Applying a weak negative potential induces electrostatic repulsion between the ECMs and foulants, enhancing antifouling performance by over 10 times in terms of backwashing interval compared to conventional polymer membranes. A demonstration project confirms the feasibility of industrial-scale production with a capacity of 11.5 m
