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 research evaluates membrane distillation (MD) to treat problematic hypersaline per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-laden waste streams. Results are shown for four commercially available membranes (unlaminated polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polypropylene laminated PTFE, polyether ether ketone (PEEK), and polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF)) that were tested with a model short-chain PFAS compound, perfluoropentanoic acid (PFPeA) at a concentration of 10 mg/L in the presence and absence of ion-exchange resin spent brine (10% NaCl). For each test, a new membrane with an area of 140 cm
