Asphaltene Adsorption on Functionalized Solids.
Article in Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Asphaltenes, heavy aromatic components of crude oil, are known to adsorb on surfaces and can lead to pipe clogging or hinder oil recovery. Because of their multicomponent structure, the details of their interactions with surfaces are complex. We investigate the effect of the physicochemical properties of the substrate on the extent and mechanism of this adsorption. Using wetting measurements, we relate the initial kinetics of deposition to the interfacial energy of the surface. We then quantify the long-term adsorption dynamics using a quartz crystal microbalance and ellipsometry. Finally, we investigate the mechanism and morphology of adsorption with force spectroscopy measurements as a function of surface chemistry. We determine different adsorption regimes differing in orientation, packing density, and initial kinetics on different substrate functionalizations. Specifically, we find that alkane substrates delay the initial monolayer formation, fluorinated surfaces exhibit fast adsorption but low bonding strength, and hydroxyl substrates lead to a different adsorption orientation and a high packing density of the asphaltene layer.
