Absorption and Spreading of a Liquid Droplet Over a Thick Porous Substrate.
Article in ACS omega, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Spreading over porous substrates occurs in several processes including printing, cleaning, coating, and manufacturing of ceramic structures. For small drops, viscous and capillary forces are ultimately the predominant forces. The process typically undergoes three phases: a first stage in which the droplet spreads, a second phase in which the area of contact with the solid substrate nearly remains constant, and a third stage in which the droplet retracts with its volume reaching zero finally. The objective of the investigation is to find the dynamics of spreading and absorption of the droplet using fundamentals while making relevant approximations to account for both radial and vertical dynamics. The proposed model requires minimal computational work. The results are compared with the published experimental data for the perfect wetting case, and are found to be in good agreement with detailed published experimental data for both droplet dynamics and dynamics of penetration in the porous substrate.
