Probing the Gold/Water Interface with Surface-Specific Spectroscopy.
Article in ACS physical chemistry Au, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Water is an integral component in electrochemistry, in the generation of the electric double layer, and in the propagation of the interfacial electric fields into the solution; however, probing the molecular-level structure of interfacial water near functioning electrode surfaces remains challenging. Due to the surface-specificity, sum-frequency-generation (SFG) spectroscopy offers an opportunity to investigate the structure of water near working electrochemical interfaces but probing the hydrogen-bonded structure of water at this buried electrode-electrolyte interface was thought to be impossible. Propagating the laser beams through the solvent leads to a large attenuation of the infrared light due to the absorption of water, and interrogating the interface by sending the laser beams through the electrode normally obscures the SFG spectra due to the large nonlinear response of conduction band electrons. Here, we show that the latter limitation is removed when the gold layer is thin. To demonstrate this, we prepared Au gradient films on CaF
