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

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) represent a class of highly persistent environmental contaminants with exceptional chemical stability. Efficient removal of PFAS from water poses a significant challenge for the chemical industry and constitutes a critical requirement for sustainable environmental development. Membrane technology has demonstrated considerable potential in water treatment due to its low energy consumption and environmentally friendly characteristics. This review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in emerging metal-organic framework (MOF)-, covalent organic framework (COF)-, and hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF)-based membranes for highly efficient separation and catalytic degradation of PFAS. We provide a detailed analysis of design strategies for various organic framework membranes (OFMs) and their synergistic separation mechanisms, including size exclusion, electrostatic interactions, adsorption, as well as catalytic degradation based on advanced oxidation processes. Furthermore, we systematically evaluate the performance and applicability of these membranes in practical aquatic environments. Finally, this review outlines future directions toward developing integrated "separation-degradation" membrane processes for practical applications by discussing current challenges concerning material stability, manufacturing costs, and long-term operational efficiency. This review aims to provide theoretical guidance and technical insights for developing next-generation high-performance membranes for PFAS removal.
