Ions and Water Dancing through Atom-Scale Holes: A Perspective toward "Size Zero".
Article in ACS nano, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 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 provide an overview of atom-scale apertures in solid-state membranes, from "pores" and "tubes" to "channels", with characteristic sizes comparable to the sizes of ions and water molecules. In this regime of ∼1 nm diameter pores, water molecules and ions are strongly geometrically confined: the size of water molecules (∼0.3 nm) and the size of "hydrated" ions in water (∼0.7-1 nm) are similar to the pore diameters, physically limiting the ion flow through the hole. The pore sizes are comparable to the classical Debye screening length governing the spatial range of electrostatic interaction, ∼0.3 to 1 nm for 1 to 0.1 M KCl. In such small structures, charges can be unscreened, leading to new effects. We discuss experiments on ∼1 nm diameter nanopores, with a focus on carbon nanotube pores and ion transport studies. Finally, we present an outlook for artificial "size zero" pores in the regime of small diameters and small thicknesses. Beyond mimicking protein channels in nature, solid-state pores may offer additional possibilities where sensing and control are performed at the pore, such as in electrically and optically addressable solid-state materials.
