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 investigates the influence of sintering temperature (850-950 °C) and almond shell content (2-10 wt.%) on the structural, mechanical, and functional properties of natural-clay-based ceramic membranes. Several membranes were prepared by incorporating different proportions of almond shell powder and 2 wt.% lime as additives and sintered under controlled thermal conditions to optimize their performance. The results demonstrate that both sintering temperature and almond shell content significantly affect membrane porosity, mechanical strength, and water permeability. Among all of the tested samples, the membrane designated MP2-900, composed of natural clay, 2 wt.% almond shell powder, and 2 wt.% lime, sintered at 900 °C, exhibited the most balanced performance. It showed high mechanical strength (≈28 MPa), low shrinkage (<5%), and good water permeability (35 L·h
