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

Efficient separation and purification of polymeric mixtures is an important challenge in plastic recycling. Here we demonstrate a robust graphene oxide (GO) membrane platform capable of separating low- and high-molecular-weight poly-(styrene) (PS) in nonpolar solvents. By tuning GO membrane properties through pillaring with a polyconjugated aromatic compound (PAC) and controlled reduction, we obtain the efficient nanofiltration of poly-(styrene) in a hydrocarbon solvent, enabling the removal of monomers and low-molecular-weight oligomers. Over 600 h of continuous operation, the pillared membrane maintains a stable high flux of 8 ± 1 L m
