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

Clean water remains a pressing global challenge and developing membranes that are both efficient and durable is critical. This study combined two polymers, polyethersulfone (PES) and sulfone-modified polysulfone (SPSf), with NiFe-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) to create a new class of multifunctional membranes. The membranes were characterized using FTIR, SEM, water contact angle, and zeta potential. The addition of NiFe-LDH fillers improved the hydrophilicity and surface structure of the membranes and enhanced the separation performance of the resulting membranes. The best-performing membrane (M3, with 2 wt.% NiFe-LDH) delivered pure water flux of about 218 L.m
