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 study addresses the persistent issue of membrane fouling in filtration systems, a phenomenon that disrupts flow dynamics and reduces efficiency across various membrane types. To overcome the limitations of traditional models, a novel generalized framework, characterized by its fractional order (α), clogging indicator (n), and clogging rate constant (k), is proposed as a flexible and unified alternative to traditional models. This fractional formulation inherently allows the model to generalize effectively across various fouling behaviors: cake filtration, intermediate clogging, and standard blocking. Comparative analysis with classical models showed that the new framework consistently achieved higher accuracy, with normalized RMSE values ranging from 0.93% to 1.73% and R
