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

MFI zeolite nanosheet membranes are promising candidates for ammonia separation from nitrogen and hydrogen gases, yet questions remain on the origin of their high selectivity. Silanols, Si-OH, are present in high concentration at the surface of zeolite nanosheets, and force-field-based simulations indicate that surface adsorption at the silanols contributes to selectivity. Acidic silanol groups can chemically react with ammonia via transfer of a proton to form ammonium ions, which may further contribute to the ability of zeolite nanosheet membranes to separate ammonia from other gases. In this work, we used first-principles molecular dynamics techniques to simulate ammonia's behavior within stacked MFI zeolite nanosheets. We found that at 523 K and a loading corresponding to 35 bar, conditions desired for the ammonia separation, about 30% of ammonia reacts with surface silanols. Our work explored H-bonding and proton transfer within this system.
