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

The widespread presence of stable and hazardous organic contaminants, such as synthetic dyes, in industrial effluents necessitates the development of resilient treatment strategies capable of achieving efficient degradation and decolorization of dye pollutants. Conventional treatment processes often fail to remove such recalcitrant compounds, prompting growing interest in integrated advanced systems. Photocatalytic membranes represent a promising solution due to the synergistic combination of physical separation and catalytic degradation. In this study, zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were deposited by spin coating onto smectite-zeolite ceramic membranes (MS10/Z90), applying one (M1), two (M2), and three (M3) successive coating layers to control catalyst thickness. SEM analysis confirmed that increasing the number of layers resulted in a thicker and more homogeneous ZnO coating, while XRD revealed enhanced crystallinity and larger crystallite size. Water permeability decreased progressively from 623 L·h
