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
The purpose of this study was to assess the suitability of tubular polymeric ultrafiltration membranes for use in a closed-loop water system within a rubber manufacturing plant. This research focused on determining the transport and separation properties of polymeric tubular membranes during the ultrafiltration of wastewater generated from washing vulcanised rubber hoses. The tests were conducted using the installation of the UF-1 membrane supplied by APEKO Sp. z o.o. This study evaluated the performance of modified PES membranes with a molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) of 4 kDa and PVDF membranes with MWCO of 100 kDa in the wastewater treatment process, as well as the effectiveness of membrane regeneration. Given the characteristics of wastewater, the key parameters for evaluating ultrafiltration performance included the determination of contaminant separation coefficients (R, %) for non-ionic surfactants (NIS) and chemical oxygen demand (COD), as well as turbidity reduction. The results demonstrated that the tested membranes substantially improved the visual quality of the wastewater by reducing turbidity by more than 95% and exhibited high separation efficiency for the analysed contaminants, with initial values of R
