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 clay nanofluidic membranes hold great promise for harvesting sustainable osmotic energy, yet their practical application is constrained by two core challenges. (1) The inherently tortuous and inefficient ion transport pathways within stacked nanosheet structures limit cation flux, and (2) the severe swelling of interlayer nanochannels in aqueous environments impairs ion selectivity and long-term stability. To simultaneously tackle these challenges, we construct a continuous hydrogen-bond network within the interlayer of a lamellar membrane (CHM) via a sequential crosslinking strategy. This engineered network serves a dual function: (1) establishing low-energy barrier pathways to facilitate cation transport while (2) acting as a dynamic yet robust crosslinked matrix to anchor clay nanosheets for suppressing interlayer expansion. Experimental and theoretical results confirm that the negatively charged surface, in synergy with the hydrogen-bond network, enables selective and rapid cation transport. The ionic conductivity of in-plane transport reaches as high as 22 S m
