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

Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) represent a novel class of microporous materials tailored for membrane separation. Initially explored predominantly for gas separation, they have subsequently found widespread utility in organic solvent nanofiltration. In recent years, their applicability has been further extended to ion separation. However, few comprehensive reviews have been dedicated to summarizing the advances of PIMs in this burgeoning field to date. This review provides a systematic overview of the recent progress in PIM membranes for ion separation. First, the structural features of PIMs employed in ion separation are summarized, with an emphasis on structure-performance correlations. Subsequently, their diverse applications in ion separation are elaborated in detail, encompassing ion resource recovery, water treatment, and electrochemical energy storage systems. Next, the current challenges facing the application of PIMs in ion separation are outlined, and finally, conclusions are provided. This review aims to provide insightful guidance for the development of high-performance PIM-based membranes in this rapidly evolving research area.
