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

Two-dimensional (2D) MXene membranes have emerged as a focal platform for ionic separations owing to their exceptional mechanical flexibility, intrinsic hydrophilicity, abundant surface terminations, and high electrical conductivity. This review summarizes recent advances in MXene-based membranes, with an emphasis on structural engineering strategies and their translation to ion-separation applications. We first outline representative fabrication routes for MXene membranes. We then discuss how separation mechanisms can be understood and deliberately tuned across four key scenarios: monovalent/monovalent ion separations, monovalent/multivalent ion separations, anion/cation separations, and heavy-metal ion separations. Finally, we highlight outstanding challenges and future opportunities, aiming to provide actionable guidance for the rational design and scalable manufacturing of high-performance MXene membranes for ionic separations.
