Experimental system for investigating membrane gas-liquid mass transfer during a parabolic flight.
Article in Space and Planetary Resources, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This research tests the hypothesis that oxygen mass transfer through a hollow fiber membrane contactor remains unaffected by changes in gravity. To validate this, oxygen mass transfer coefficients were measured under terrestrial, Martian, Lunar, and microgravity conditions simulated during parabolic flights. Baseline data from 15 terrestrial experiments were statistically compared via Student's T-Test to results from 10 Martian, 10 Lunar, and 5 microgravity parabolas. The respective p-values of 0.41, 0.48, and 0.85, all well above the 0.05 threshold, indicate no significant difference in oxygen mass transfer across gravity levels. These findings support the robustness of membrane gas transfer technologies across varied gravitational environments, advancing their Technology Readiness Level. This outcome has important implications for life support and in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) systems in space habitats and promises to enhance membrane process efficiency in diverse terrestrial and extraterrestrial applications.
