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

Addressing the challenges of nuclear waste management and strategic resource recovery necessitates novel functional materials for the integrated and efficient capture of critical elements. This work reports a class of multifunctional eutectic mixtures (EMs) constructed from crown ether (hydrogen-bond acceptor, HBA) and partially esterified organophosphorus acids (hydrogen-bond donor, HBD). This design integrates the high selectivity of crown ether toward Sr(II) with the strong affinity of organophosphorus ligands for U(VI)/Pu(IV), achieving unprecedented single-step extraction efficiencies exceeding 99.9% for U(VI), 99.8% for Pu(IV), and 99% for Sr(II) under extreme and nearly realistic conditions. This exceptional performance originates from the differentiated metal coordination of crown ether and phosphoric esters, coupled with a synergistic "coordination-encapsulation" effect mediated by the formation of reverse micellar supramolecular structures. Our findings not only provide high-performance materials for the simultaneous recovery of critical radionuclides but also demonstrate the great potential of EMs as a sustainable platform for addressing complex separation scenarios.
