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

Nanofiltration is an important part of pressure-driven membrane separation processes. A comprehensive understanding of the interplay between module hydrodynamics, concentration polarization, and solute rejection is essential for predicting NF performance and for scaling up processes. For two different membrane modules, the characterization and determination of concentration polarization as well as pore-size determination according to the Donnan steric pore model are described. The results show that an optimized channel design allows for a more reliable determination of true retention rates without concentration polarization. Differences between observed retention rates and intrinsic retention rates considering mass transfer coefficients can be neglected. These results are obtained at significantly lower cross-flow rates, allowing for better applicability at the lab scale.
