Insignificant Effect of Temperature on the Structure and Angular Jumps of Water near a Hydrophobic Cation.
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 1 paper.
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
The ambiguity in the behavior of water molecules around hydrophobic solutes is a matter of interest for many studies. Motivated by the earlier results on the dynamics of water molecules around tetramethylammonium (TMA) cation, we present the effect of temperature on the structure and angular jumps of water due to hydrophobicity using first principles molecular dynamics simulations. The average intermolecular distance between the central oxygen and four nearest neighbors is found to be the highest for water molecules in the solvation shell of TMA at 400 K, followed by the same at 330 K. The hydrogen bond (HB) donor-acceptor count, HB per water molecule, and tetrahedral order parameter suggests the loss of tetrahedrality in the solvation shell. Elevated temperature affects the tetrahedral parameter in local regions. The HB jump mechanism is studied for methyl hydrogen and water molecules in the solvation shell. Observations hint at the presence of dangling water molecules in the vicinity of the hydrophobic cation, and no evidence is found for the enhanced structural ordering of nearby water molecules.
