Solvent reverse osmosis beyond size exclusion in two-dimensional nanochannel membranes.
Article in Nature communications, 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
Solvent reverse osmosis is a pressure-driven, liquid-phase process for separating solvent mixtures, offering a potential low-energy alternative to thermal operations. Graphene oxide (GO) laminates provide tunable nanochannels to probe confined solvent transport, yet solvent-solvent separations remain underexplored due to solvation-induced structural instabilities and the small molecular sizes. Here we construct solvent-stable, supported GO nanochannel membranes that preserves integrity under pressurized solvents, and tune interlayer confinement and surface polarity via controlled chemical reduction. Across 51 solvent systems and 5 distinct nanochannels, we demonstrate that separation is governed by coupled nanoconfinement and solvent affinity, where selective interfacial association can surpass simple size-exclusion expectations. Maximum permselectivity arises from balancing channel size with retained polarity, indicating that channel shrinking alone does not optimize performance. These findings identify channel surface chemistry as a key design factor for polarity-rich solvent systems and provide a framework for rationally tailoring nanochannels for complex solvent separations.
