1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

As interest in the extensive application of bulk nanobubbles increases, it is becoming progressively important to understand the key factors affecting their anomalous stability. The scientific intrigue over nanobubbles originates from the discrepancy between the Epstein-Plesset prediction and experimental observations. Herein, the coupling effects of ionic surfactants and electrolytes on the stability of bulk nanobubbles is studied. Experimental results show that ionic surfactants not only reduce the surface tension but also promote the accumulation of net charges, which facilitate the nucleation and stabilization of bulk nanobubbles. The addition of an electrolyte in a surfactant solution further results in a decrease in the zeta potential and the number concentration of nanobubbles due to the ion shielding effect, essentially colloidal stability. An adsorption model for the coexistence of ionic surfactants and electrolytes in solution, that specifically considers the effect of the adsorption layer thickness within the framework of the modified Poisson-Boltzmann equation, is developed. A quantitative agreement between the predicted and experimental surface tension is found in a wide range of bulk concentrations. The spatial distribution of the surface potential, surfactant ions and counterions in the vicinity of the interface of bulk nanobubbles are described. Our study intrinsically paves a route to investigate the stability of bulk nanobubbles.
