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

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) exhibit significant potential for gas separation applications, primarily due to their remarkable stability and precisely adjustable pore structures. However, creating sustainable COF-based gas separation membranes remains unachieved and is confronted with significant challenges, including high defect sensitivity, poor recyclability, high-cost and poor pressure resistance. To address these challenges, a molecular knitting strategy is applied for reconstructing long-range ordered COF nanosheets (CONs) into super-robust and nearly defect-free COF membranes using tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TREN) as the suture. Notably, the disassembly and self-assembly of designated CONs into membranes can be achieved through thermodynamic control by solvent switching in the presence of TREN. The underlying mechanism of this thermodynamically driven molecular structure transformation is elucidated using density functional theory calculations. The COF membranes derived from dynamically knitted CONs exhibit excellent self-healing and recycling capabilities and superior ideal selectivity for gas separation. It demonstrates an ultrahigh Young's modulus of 19.68 GPa, corresponding to an approximate 992-fold enhancement over that of original COF membranes (0.021 GPa). Ultimately, the fabricated COF membranes exhibit outstanding pressure-resistant (ΔP > 6 bar), anti-plasticizing and H
