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

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a representative per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), is a persistent water contaminant due to its strong C-F bonds and amphiphilic molecular nature. Here, we reveal a water-mediated adsorption mechanism in biobased poly(hexamethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylamide) (PA6F) nanofiber membranes, in which hydration induces structural densification and molecular confinement of PFOA within the fibrous network. Upon water exposure, the electrospun PA6F membrane undergoes macroscopic shrinkage driven by swelling and partial fusion of individual nanofibers, leading to a denser polymer matrix. This transformation promotes strong PFOA retention through a combination of hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and physical confinement, as supported by molecular dynamics simulations. The PA6F nanofiber membranes achieve a PFOA removal efficiency of 94.6% and an adsorption capacity of 3.92 mg g
