Fabrication of Salvinia-inspired surfaces for hydrodynamic drag reduction by capillary-force-induced clustering.
Article in Nature communications, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
For decades, bioinspired functional materials have been attracting the interest of many researchers for their remarkable characteristics. In particular, some plant leaves are well known for their inherent superhydrophobic nature. Salvinia molesta, a free-floating aquatic fern, has egg-beater-shaped hierarchical trichomes on its surface of leaves. Due to the unique structure and complex wettability of the hairs, this plant has the ability to maintain a stable thick air layer upon the structure when it is submerged underwater. Often referred to as the "Salvinia Effect," this property is expected to be suitable for use in hydrodynamic drag reduction. However, due to the complex shape of the trichome, currently applied fabrication methods are using a three-dimensional printing system, which is not applicable to mass production because of its severely limited productivity. In this work, artificial Salvinia leaf inspired by S. molesta was fabricated using a conventional soft lithography method assisted with capillary-force-induced clustering of micropillar array. The fabrication method suggested in this work proposes a promising strategy for the manufacturing of Salvinia-inspired hydrodynamic drag reduction surfaces.
