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

Reverse electrodialysis (RED) is a relatively recent technology for renewable energy harvesting from the interaction of river and seawater. This paper revisits the thermodynamic equilibrium governing the ionic transport processes through ion-exchange membranes (IEMs) under RED conditions and theoretically derives approximate analytical expressions for the ionic concentrations at the inner boundaries of a permeable membrane with well-stirred baths. The equation for the Donnan ion partitioning at the membrane-solution interface, which is based on the equality of the electrochemical potential in the two phases, is analysed for binary salts with symmetric (1:1) and asymmetric (2:1) electrolytes, by considering bathing solutions with the equivalent concentrations 0.02 M in the dilute bath, and 0.5, 1, and 1.5 M in the concentrate one. Simple approximate analytical expressions exhibiting the evolution with the membrane fixed-charge concentration of the counter-ionic concentrations at the inner boundaries of the membrane, the concentration gradients inside the membrane, the total Donnan electric potential, and the ionic partitioning coefficients have been derived. The approximate generalised expressions for a general
