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

Blending hydrogen into natural gas pipelines requires efficient separation, while helium recovery from natural gas via cryogenic distillation is energy- and capital-intensive, driving demand for better membranes. This study develops ultraselective carbon molecular sieve (CMS) hollow fiber membranes from chemically modified Matrimid (pyrolyzed at 900°C). Two types of modifications are reported for both applications: treatment with vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) or with diethyltoluenediamine/trimesoyl chloride (DETDA/TMC) and VTMS. The chemical modifications create highly economical new precursor hollow fibers that cannot be formed via conventional solvent dissolution and spinning. This establishes a broadly tunable network-polymer platform for polyimide-based precursor hollow fiber membranes, extendable to various diamines, which represents a transformative materials platform for scalable CMS membranes. Superior gas separation performance has been achieved, which is envisioned to be extendable across many gas pair cases. For 10% H
