Antisurfactant (Autophobic) Behavior of Superspreader Surfactant Solutions.

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
Surfactants are often added to water to increase the wetting of hydrophobic surfaces. We previously showed that most surfactant solutions behave identically to simple liquids with the same surface tension, indicating that the surfactants do not change the wettability of the solid surface itself. Here, we show that the superspreading surfactant Silwet results in a systematically higher contact angle on a hydrophobic surface than other surfactant solutions of comparable liquid-vapor surface tension. We also experimentally observe this "antisurfactant" behavior for CTAB on hydrophilic substrates. Supported by sum-frequency generation spectroscopy results, we suggest that this effect is due to charge-binding of the surfactant with the substrate.
