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

Over the recent decades there has been tremendous progress in understanding and controlling friction between surfaces in relative motion. However the complex nature of the involved processes has forced most of this work to be of rather empirical nature. Two very distinctive physical systems, hard two-dimensional layered materials and soft microscopic systems, such as optically or topographically trapped colloids, have recently opened novel rationally designed lines of research in the field of tribology, leading to a number of new discoveries. Here, we provide an overview of these emerging directions of research, and discuss how the interplay between hard and soft matter promotes our understanding of frictional phenomena.
