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

Efficiently separating propene and propane is paramount for the chemical industry but notoriously difficult due to their minimal size and volatility differences. Here, an efficient strategy to overcome this separation challenge was demonstrated through the design of bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-based mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs). Thin-film composite (TFC) membranes were fabricated by integrating monometallic ZIF-8, ZIF-67, and a synergistic bimetallic ZIF-8-67 into a uniquely formulated ionic liquid-cellulose acetate (IL-CA) polymer matrix. Structural and morphological analyses confirmed the high crystallinity of the ZIF fillers and their seamless integration within the polymer. The resultant ZIF-8-67/IL-CA membrane exhibited notable separation performance, surpassing its monometallic counterparts by a threefold increase in both C
