Surface Reconstruction of Fluoropolymers in Liquid Media.
Article in Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Surface reconstruction is the rearrangement of atoms or molecules at an interface in response to a stimulus, driven by lowering the overall free energy of the system. Perfluoroalkyl acrylate polymers with short side chains undergo reconstruction at room temperature when exposed to water. Here, we use contact angle aging to examine the liquid- and temperature- dependency of surface reconstruction of plasma polymerized perfluoroalkyl acrylates. We use a first order kinetic model to examine the dynamics of reconstructive processes. Our results show that, above the bulk melting point of the polymers, the contact angles of both polar and nonpolar (hydrocarbon) liquids show a time dependency well fit by the model. We conclude that surface reconstruction can be driven by the preferential segregation of hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon moieties as well as by polar interactions. This has implications in terms of using fluorocarbons to design oleophobic surfaces (and vice versa) and in terms of designing fluorocarbon and/or hydrocarbon surfaces with switchable wettability.
