Heterogeneous Nucleation onto Monoatomic Ions: Support for the Kelvin-Thomson Theory.
Article in Chemphyschem : a European journal of chemical physics and physical chemistry, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
In this study, the process of heterogeneous nucleation is investigated by coupling a high-resolution differential mobility analyser (DMA) to an expansion-type condensation particle counter, the size-analyzing nuclei counter (SANC). More specifically, we measured the activation probabilities of monoatomic ions of both polarities by using n-butanol as condensing liquid. All seed ions were activated to grow into macroscopic sizes at saturation ratios well below the onset of homogeneous nucleation, showing for the first time that the SANC is capable of detecting sub-nanometer sized, atomic seed ions. The measured onset saturation ratios for each ion were compared to the Kelvin-Thomson (KT) theory. Despite the fact that certain dependencies of activation behaviour on seed ion properties cannot be predicted by the KT theory, it was found that with a simple adjustment of the n-butanol molecular volume (9-15 % lower compared to bulk properties) good agreement with experimental results is achievable. The corresponding density increase may result from the dipole-charge interaction. This study thus offers support for the application of the KT model for heterogeneous, ion-induced nucleation studies at the sub-nanometer level.
