Steam condensation heat transfer on lubricant-infused surfaces.
Article in iScience, 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
Steam condensation is fundamental to several industrial processes, including power generation, desalination, and water harvesting. Lubricant-infused surfaces (LISs) promote sustained dropwise condensation, leading to significantly higher heat transfer performance that trades off with durability. Here, we present a systematic study on lubricant-infused copper tubes in a partial vacuum environment typical of power plant condensers to elucidate the influence of the design parameters-texturing, functionalizing agent, and lubricant viscosity-on condensation heat transfer performance and durability. Heat transfer effectiveness is introduced as a relevant parameter to quantify the effects of condensation heat transfer coefficient enhancement on the overall system heat transfer performance. Analytical expressions are developed for lubricant retention fraction and heat transfer effectiveness in terms of Bond number, viscosity ratio, and a dimensionless logarithmic mean temperature difference that can be used for predicting the performance of a LIS or for designing surfaces for a desired performance.
