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

Separation membranes with inherent antiwettability and stability are highly desirable for membrane distillation (MD) in practical applications. In this study, hydrophilic-hydrophobic dual-layer membranes composed of a dense poly (vinyl alcohol)/halloysite nanotube (PVA-HNT) layer and a microporous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) layer were fabricated to improve wetting and fouling resistance during the MD process. The incorporation of the HNT manipulated the crystallization and chain mobility of PVA, endowing the PVA-HNT layer with tunable water transport properties by adjusting the level of HNT loading. Benefiting from the hydrophilic top layer on PTFE, the dual-layer membrane with an optimal HNT loading of 5 wt% showed stable water vapor flux (7.6 kg/m
