Natural-Light-Initiated 3D Macro Zigzag Architecture of Graphene-Reinforced Polystyrene for Gravity-Driven Oil and Water Separation.
Article in Global challenges (Hoboken, NJ), 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
Superhydrophobic 3D robust materials are introduced for the separation of hexane and water. For the first time, novel 3D zigzag polystyrene on graphene-incorporated polyurethane (3D zz-PS/GR/PU) is prepared using exclusively natural sunlight without any chemical initiator. The zigzag polystyrene growth is accomplished by polymerizing the styrene vapors. The natural sunlight provides a compact 3D zz-PS/GR/PU material with superoleophilic and hydrophobic channels that allow for the rapid passage of oil, whereas water is entirely prevented from passing. The 3D zz-PS/GR/PU compact channels are transformed into the compressible material by treating them with toluene without affecting the hydrophobicity of the material. The 3D zz-PS/GR/PU displays a high-water contact angle of approximately 150°. The developed materials are characterized by FTIR, SEM, and BET. The graphene incorporation makes surface area of the 3D zz-PS/GR/PU substantially large compared with PU. It is improved from 15 to 67 m
