1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The understanding of water dewetting in nanoporous materials is of great importance in various fields of science and technology. Herein, we report molecular dynamics simulation results of dewetting of water droplet in hydrophobic nanocavities between graphene walls under the influence of electric field. At ambient temperature, the rate of dewetting induced by electric field is significantly large. Whereas, it is a very low rate of dewetting induced by high temperature (423 K) due to the strong interaction of the hydrogen-bonding networks of water droplets in nanocavities. In addition, the electric filed induced formation of a water column has been found in a vacuum chamber. When the electric field is turned off, the water column will transform into a water droplet. Importantly, the results demonstrate that the rate of electric field-induced dewetting increases with growth of the electric field. Overall, our results suggest that electric field may have a great potential application for nanomaterial dewetting.
