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

Understanding the morphology of membranes under operational conditions is essential for advancing membrane material development for water purification and industrial applications. Traditional characterization methods, such as scanning and transmission electron microscopy, require vacuum environments and sample modifications that could alter membrane structures susceptible to hydration and swelling. Here, we present the first application of synchrotron-based ptychographic X-ray computed tomography (PXCT) for direct in situ nanoscale 3D imaging of hydrated thin-film composite polyamide membranes immersed in water. This method requires no staining, vitrification, or layer separation from the porous support by exposure to organic solvents. It preserves the polyamide membrane's native state. We studied lab-fabricated membranes containing 2-hydroxy-
