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.
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
Thermal-driven interfacial evaporation crystallization offers a promising path to zero liquid discharge (ZLD) for high-salinity brine. However, cocrystallization of specific minor salt species with major salts forms scaling that causes operational failure. Although chemical additives are commonly used to mitigate scaling, they pose potential environmental risks. This study presents a chemical-additive-free antiscaling strategy that suppresses unwanted cocrystallization by rationally enhancing the departure of scaling-causing species from the evaporation interface. As a proof of concept, a solar evaporator is designed to enhance the backflow of MgSO
