Bio-Inspired and Synergistic Ion Transport: Advancing the Frontiers of Lithium Extraction From Complex Aqueous Sources.
Review in ChemPlusChem, 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 global demand for lithium has driven the pursuit of efficient extraction from complex sources like salt lake brine and seawater. Conventional membranes face a "permeability-selectivity trade-off," especially under high salinity and competitive conditions. This review examines advances in lithium-selective membranes, from basic size-sieving and charge regulation to biomimetic channels using molecular recognition and asymmetric gating. Beyond these conventional approaches, we emphasize a pivotal and necessary paradigm shift in ion transport strategy to address the limitations of traditional "forward-flow" separation. Specifically, we highlight our recent research into the design of artificial cation-chloride cotransporters, which bypasses the constraints of salt-induced Debye screening by facilitating electroneutral ion pair migration, thereby enabling resilient lithium extraction from concentrated brines. Furthermore, we discuss the "reverse lithium extraction" paradigm, a strategic reassessment of separation strategy that prioritizes the selective retention of Li
