Development of Seawater Reverse Osmosis Configurations for Low- and High-Fouling Feedwaters: A Techno-Economic Review of FilmTec Membranes Performance.
Article in Membranes, 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 work presents the most recent advancements and operational experiences obtained with the large-active-area, high-rejection FilmTec™ SW30HR-380 and SW30HR-320 reverse osmosis membrane elements, with particular focus on their techno-economic implications, especially regarding energy demand and potential operational cost reductions. The study also examines fouling prevalence and reviews the latest developments in technical mitigation strategies, with emphasis on the new wide-spacer SW30HR-320 elements designed for open-intake applications. Overall, the findings indicate that these new membrane products constitute an effective option for the design of seawater reverse osmosis systems treating both clean and fouling-prone feedwaters. The techno-economic evaluation demonstrates that the adoption of these elements can enable reductions of approximately 20% in capital expenditures, up to 25% in energy consumption, and up to 4% in cleaning-related costs-including downtime-when the SW30HR-320 is operated under high-fouling feedwater conditions.
