Eco-Friendly Solvent-Based Fabrication of Single-Layer and Polydopamine-Modified Bilayer PVDF-HFP Membranes.
Article in Membranes, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Polymeric membrane systems have emerged as an effective approach for water separations due to their high separation efficiency, simplicity, and adaptability to a wide range of water treatment applications. However, traditional membrane fabrication processes often rely on toxic organic solvents, such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and dimethylacetamide (DMAc), which pose environmental and health risks. Eco-friendly solvents have been investigated as an alternative to traditional toxic solvents. This study investigates the fabrication and performance of polymeric membranes using eco-friendly solvent systems, with a focus on bilayer membranes designed to improve separation performance over traditional single-layer membranes. Membranes were fabricated using eco-friendly solvents, Rhodiasolv© PolarClean and gamma-valerolactone in combination with polymers polysulfone (PSf) and poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP). Membranes were fabricated using nonsolvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) through doctor blade extrusion (DBE) and slot-die coating (SDC) methods in order to compare traditional laboratory-scale casting methods (DBE) with scalable fabrication techniques (SDC). Bilayer membranes were investigated to address limitations presented by single-layer membranes, with polydopamine (PDA) incorporated as an adhesion-promoting additive. Membrane characterization included scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle measurements, and tensile testing, along with water permeability and solute rejection tests. Results showed that polymer concentration and casting method influenced permeability and solute rejection, with the SDC bilayers reaching the highest initial BSA rejection. Filtration used deionized water and model aqueous feeds containing 100 ppm NaCl, 100 ppm CaCl
