Wetting transitions in droplet drying on soft materials.
Article in Nature communications, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Droplet interactions with compliant materials are familiar, but surprisingly complex processes of importance to the manufacturing, chemical, and garment industries. Despite progress-previous research indicates that mesoscopic substrate deformations can enhance droplet drying or slow down spreading dynamics-our understanding of how the intertwined effects of transient wetting phenomena and substrate deformation affect drying remains incomplete. Here we show that above a critical receding contact line speed during drying, a previously not observed wetting transition occurs. We employ 4D confocal reference-free traction force microscopy (cTFM) to quantify the transient displacement and stress fields with the needed resolution, revealing high and asymmetric local substrate deformations leading to contact line pinning, illustrating a rate-dependent wettability on viscoelastic solids. Our study has significance for understanding the liquid removal mechanism on compliant substrates and for the associated surface design considerations. The developed methodology paves the way to study complex dynamic compliant substrate phenomena.
