Bioinspired Strategies for Directional Water Transport in Asymmetric Membranes.
Review in ACS applied polymer materials, 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
The directional transfer of water is an important process for many living organisms and an increasingly important technological concept that enables applications such as fog harvesting, separation processes, smart packaging, and advanced textiles. Among the various strategies for achieving directional permeation, asymmetric dense polymer membranes have proven particularly effective. Over the past decade, research on natural and engineered systems has expanded significantly, leading to numerous innovative material solutions. After providing a historical perspective on research on directional biological membranes, this review summarizes the fundamentals governing asymmetric permeation in dense polymer membranes, highlights recent advances concerning the design, fabrication, and characterization of such structures, and discusses possible applications. Finally, current challenges and future opportunities for advancing this field toward scalable and multifunctional systems are presented.
