Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces display many excellent underwater functionalities, which attribute to the slippery air mattress trapped in the structures on the surface. However, the air mattress is easy to collapse due to various disturbances, leading to the fully wetted Wenzel state, while the water filling the microstructures is difficult to be repelled to completely recover the air mattress even on superhydrophobic surfaces like lotus leaves. Beyond superhydrophobicity, here we find that the floating fern,
