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

The rapidly growing demand for lithium in energy storage technologies necessitates more efficient lithium extraction methods from salt lakes. Direct lithium extraction (DLE) has gained attention, as it addresses more than 50% lithium losses in traditional salt-pond-based processes. However, separating lithium ion from sodium ion or potassium ion remains challenging due to their similar charge and hydration radii. To overcome this, we developed a covalent organic framework-based ion trap membrane by embedding lithiophilic diketone molecules [2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone (HTTA)] into subnanometer channels, enabling a "bind-jump" transport mechanism. HTTA sites selectively bind lithium ion, assist its partial dehydration (bind step), and promote hopping to adjacent HTTA sites (jump step). The optimized HTTA
