Plasma-Engineered Polyethylene-Reinforced Anion Exchange Membranes With Low Ionic Resistance and Low Hydrogen Crossover for Water Electrolysis.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 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
Anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) enables low-cost green hydrogen production but remains limited by the delicate balance among ionic resistance, gas crossover, and mechanical durability in hydrocarbon-based membranes. Although reinforced composite membranes (RCMs) alleviate this limitation, conventional expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) reinforcements suffer from fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon interfacial incompatibility, resulting in incomplete ionomer impregnation. We report a plasma-modified polyethylene (PE) reinforcement that promotes hydrocarbon ionomer infiltration within dense submicron pores. Oxygen plasma treatment introduces polar functional groups on the PE surface, enhancing wettability and capillary-driven impregnation without altering morphology. The plasma-treated PE-based RCM achieves high strength, low swelling, and reduced hydrogen crossover, exhibiting a crossover current density of 0.133 mA cm
