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

Membrane materials and fabrication methods often need to be co-developed to meet the specific permeance and selectivity requirements of different gas separation application, which limits the adaptability of membrane technology. Here we propose a post-regulation strategy-adjusting the pore structures of a standard "primitive" membrane to meet various separation needs-that greatly simplifies membrane preparation and accelerates technological advancement. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are introduced as innovative building blocks: a continuous GQD membrane is constructed by tightly stacking GQDs, and then its pore structure is tuned via heat treatment and in-situ cross-linking with small amine molecules. Combining adjustable angstrom-scale pores with preferential CO
