Drying of channels by evaporation through a permeable medium.
Article in Journal of the Royal Society, Interface, 2019. 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
We study the drying of isolated channels initially filled with water moulded in a water-permeable polymer (polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS) by pervaporation, when placed in a dry atmosphere. Channel drying is monitored by tracking a meniscus, separating water from air, advancing within the channels. The role of two geometrical parameters, the channel width and the PDMS thickness, is investigated experimentally. All data show that drying displays a truncated exponential dynamics. A fully predictive analytical model, in excellent agreement with the data, is proposed to explain such a dynamics, by solving water diffusion both in the PDMS layer and in the gas inside the channel. This drying process is crucial in geological or biological systems, such as rock disintegration or the drying of plant leaves after cavitation and embolism formation.
