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

Isomers separation is a challenging but crucial process in biological and chemical processes. Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) combining selective adsorbents within the polymer matrix have the potential for separating isomeric mixtures. However, the limited compatibility is a significant problem for efficient separation with appropriate permeability and selectivity. Herein, we report the rational design and construction of a highly oriented multi-porous membrane by the orthogonal assembly of hydrogen-bonded macrocycle amphiphiles through dynamic adaptation. The macrocycles can undergo helical propagation in the vertical direction with hydrophilic exteriors, forming lyotropic liquid crystal gels. By simultaneous control of immiscible pores with identical hydrogen bonding, well-aligned chiral nanochannels are created in gel matrix, enabling precise molecular sieving with separation factor of 11.46 for constitutional isomer and 92% ee for enantiomer. The strategy follows the principle of dynamic chemistry, providing a versatile platform for energy-efficient separations in chiral resolution, fine chemical purification and biomimetic transport systems.
