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

Exploring the potential for secondary utilization of wastewater is a prudent strategy to achieve "take-make-use-reuse" circular economy. Taking advantages of wood's hierarchical structure and large surface area, in this project, we fabricate surface-encapsulated anion-selective and cation-selective wood membranes (comprising up to 98% eco-friendly materials) through a two-step process: dip-coating with either positively charged 2(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate or negatively charged acrylic acid, followed by energy-efficient sunlight-induced polymerization. The output voltage and current of a single modified wood cell (20 × 20 × 3 mm
