A gateway for ion transport on gas bubbles pinned onto solids.
Article in Communications chemistry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Gas bubbles grown on solids are more than simple vehicles for gas transport. They are charged particles with surfaces populated with exchangeable ions. We here unveil a gateway for alkali metal ion transport between oxygen bubbles and semi-conducting (iron oxide) and conducting (gold) surfaces. This gateway was identified by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy using an ultramicroelectrode in direct contact with bubbles pinned onto these solid surfaces. We show that this gateway is naturally present at open circuit potentials, and that negative electric potentials applied through the solid enhance ion transport. In contrast, positive potentials or contact with an insulator (polytetrafluoroethylene) attenuates transport. We propose that this gateway is generated by overlapping electric double layers of bubbles and surfaces of contrasting (electro)chemical potentials. Knowledge of this ion transfer phenomenon is essential for understanding electric shielding and reaction overpotential caused by bubbles on catalysts. This has especially important ramifications for predicting processes including mineral flotation, microfluidics, pore water geochemistry, and fuel cell technology.
