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

This work addresses the long-standing challenge of insufficient permselectivity in two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic framework (COF) membranes by developing a generalizable and potentially scalable self-templating interfacial assembly method to synthesize vertically aligned 2D COF polycrystalline nanofilms. Experiments and molecular simulations reveal that molecular amphiphilicity-driven spontaneous confinement and directional alignment of framework-building units at the organic/aqueous interface instigate the vertical growth of COF monolayers. The superior sieving ability of sub-4 angstrom interlayer nanochannels enables vertically aligned COF membranes to efficiently intercept salt ions, electrically neutral small molecules, and hazardous chemicals, outperforming conventional COF membranes. The implemented strategy can be extended to other building blocks and framework topologies, opening up avenues for fine-tuning the pore structure of 2D COF membranes.
