Wetting Characteristics of Nanosilica-Poly (acrylic acid) Transparent Anti-Fog Coatings.
Article in Polymers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The effect of particle loading on the wetting properties of coatings was investigated by modifying a coating formulation based on hydrophilic silica nanoparticles and poly (acrylic acid) (PAA). Water contact angle (WCA) measurements were conducted for all coatings to characterize the surface wetting properties. Wettability was improved with an increase in particle loading. The resulting coatings showed superhydrophilic (SH) behavior when the particle loading was above 53 vol. %. No new peaks were detected by attenuated total reflection (ATR-FTIR). The surface topography of the coatings was studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The presence of hydrophilic functional groups and nano-scale roughness were found to be responsible for superhydrophilic behavior. The surface chemistry was found to be a primary factor determining the wetting properties of the coatings. Adhesion of the coatings to the substrate was tested by tape test and found to be durable. The antifogging properties of the coatings were evaluated by exposing the films under different environmental conditions. The SH coatings showed anti-fogging behavior. The transparency of the coatings was significantly improved with the increase in particle loading. The coatings showed good transparency (>85% transmission) when the particle loading was above 84 vol. %.
