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

A superhydrophobic coating endows pristine hydrophilic wood with excellent water/moisture repellency and thus prolongs its service life. Generally, the superhydrophobic coating on wood is fabricated by a two-step process in which the nanoparticles are first introduced onto the surface and then modified by low-surface-energy molecules. Herein, for the first time, we have fabricated the superhydrophobic wood via a one-step process free of nanoparticles by immersing the pristine hydrophilic wood, such as pine, balsawood, and basswood, into a composite silane solution of hexadecyltrimethoxysilane and methyltrimethoxysilane. The wood remains superhydrophobic or highly hydrophobic after long-term exposure to mechanical damage (such as abrading, knife-cutting, and tape-peeling), chemical damage (such as immersion in acid, alkali, or ethanol), and environmental impacting (such as UV irradiation and low/high-temperature exposure).
