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

Membrane nanofiltration provides a sustainable and energy-efficient platform for precise molecular separation. However, highly permselective and chemically stable membrane materials capable of operating under harsh conditions are currently lacking. Here we report a generalizable monomer-solvent dual engineering strategy that enables the one-step synthesis of chemically robust thiazole-linked polycrystalline covalent organic framework (COF) membranes via scalable interfacial polymerization under ambient conditions for ultraselective molecular separation. The fully π-conjugated aromatic skeleton and the spatially exposed heteroatoms on the irreversible thiazole linkages establish a lone-pair electron network, which not only forms an atomic hydration layer to protect the framework but also confers long-range regulation of electrostatic interactions. The thiazole-linked COF membranes exhibit remarkable structural stability in strong acids (e.g., 12 M HCl), good resistance to organic solvents and chlorine, and high pharmaceutical desalination permselectivity, achieving ion/pharmaceutical separation factors up to 690. This versatile thiazole-linked framework structure offers potential for the development of chemically stable aromatic conjugated COF membranes for diverse vital applications.
