Diversity at the Water-Metal Interface: Metal, Water Thickness, and Confinement Effects.
Article in ACS central science, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
The structure and properties of water films in contact with metal surfaces are crucial to understand the chemical and electrochemical processes involved in energy-related technologies. The nature of thin water films on Pd, Pt, and Ru has been investigated by first-principles molecular dynamics to assess how the chemistry at the water-metal surface is responsible for the diversity in the behavior of the water layers closer to the metal. The characteristics of liquid water: the radial distribution functions, coordination, and fragment speciation appear only for unconfined water layers of a minimum of 1.4 nm thick. In addition, the water layer is denser in the region closest to the metal for Pd and Pt, where seven- and five-membered ring motifs appear. These patterns are identical to those identified by scanning tunneling microscopy for isolated water bilayers. On Ru densification at the interface is not observed, water dissociates, and protons and hydroxyl groups are locked at the surface. Therefore, the acid-base properties in the area close to the metal are not perturbed, in agreement with experiments, and the bulk water resembles an electric double layer. Confinement affects water making it closer to ice for both structural and dynamic properties, thus being responsible for the higher viscosity experimentally found at the nanoscale. All these contributions modify the solvation of reactants and products at the water-metal interface and will affect the catalytic and electrocatalytic properties of the surface.
