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

Ammonia (NH3) plays a crucial role in the agricultural sector as a fertilizer and is a dense hydrogen carrier that offers a potential renewable and carbon-free energy source. These significant advantages necessitate the development of efficient NH3 synthesis and separation systems. Conventionally, the Haber-Bosch (HB) process involves synthesis at high temperature (>673 K, 100-200 bar) and separation of NH3 from the equilibrium-limited reaction mixture through condensation at low temperatures. Among various alternative NH3 separation techniques, adsorption approaches in porous solids have been investigated as a potentially more energy-efficient method. However, identifying the optimal porous materials for reversible NH3 separation with high NH3 capacity remains challenging. This review discusses the potential of porous solid adsorbents, such as zeolites, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), porous organic polymers (POPs), carbons, and their composite materials with NH3 absorbents like ionic liquids and metal halides, for NH3 separation and other potential uses like storage and sensing. The review also discusses active sites for adsorption, and adsorbent structural and mechanical properties. It also emphasizes NH3 selectivity over N2 and H2, highlighting the solid sorbent's reversibility, stability, and regeneration conditions. Future directions for NH3 adsorption research are highlighted.
