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

Graphene-based membranes can be promising platforms for organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) due to their unique two-dimensional nanochannels, chemical robustness, and tunable transport pathways. In particular, graphene oxide (GO) and nanoporous graphene architectures offer opportunities to overcome permeability/selectivity trade-off through controlled interlayer spacing, engineered nanopores, and tailored solvent-membrane interactions. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in multilayer graphene-based OSN membranes, focusing on synthesis strategies, transport mechanisms, and structural engineering approaches that enable high-performance separation. We discuss the synergistic roles of nanopore-mediated through-plane transport and confined interlayer diffusion, highlighting how solvent affinity, swelling behavior, and interfacial slip collectively determine separation performance. Recent progress in pore structure refinement, interlayer regulation, nanosheet orientation control, and aspect-ratio control is summarized to provide key design principles for achieving ultrafast permeance while maintaining sharp molecular separation. Beyond material design, emerging industrial applications, including purification, concentration, solvent exchange, pharmaceutical processing, electronic-grade solvent polishing, and organic solvent reverse osmosis, are broadly discussed. Finally, we checked remaining challenges toward scale-up and commercialization, including stability under harsh solvents, module compatibility, and realistic performance evaluation.
