Effects of wettability on droplet movement in a V-shaped groove.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
As basic research to understand the behavior of droplets on structured surfaces, we investigated droplet movement in a V-shaped groove while the volume of the droplet changes. We developed a model to explain the mechanism of the droplet movement and the effects of the wettability of the inner walls of the groove on the droplet movement. Furthermore, the model predicted new phenomena and explains the effect of the nonhomogeneous wettability on droplet movement. The predictions of the model match the experimental results well. This research can provide the basic knowledge for manipulating droplets with structured surfaces for various applications.
