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

This study presents the first systematic optimization of plasma-activated water (PAW) generation parameters for cleaning fouled plasma-modified mixed cellulose ester (MCE) microfiltration membranes employed in apple juice clarification. The effects of cold plasma (CP) water activation time (5, 7, and 9 min) and electrode-to-water surface distance (20, 30, and 40 mm) on permeate flux, PAW pH, and the maximum number of effective cleaning cycles were optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to evaluate the impacts of these independent variables and their interactions simultaneously, developing predictive models with fewer experimental runs. Statistical analysis revealed that activation time, electrode-to-water surface distance, and certain interactions significantly affected all response variables (
