Fluorine-Free Super-Liquid-Repellent Surfaces: Pushing the Limits of PDMS.
Article in Nano letters, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Methods for fabricating super-liquid-repellent surfaces have typically relied on perfluoroalkyl substances. However, growing concerns about the environmental and health effects of perfluorinated compounds have caused increased interest in fluorine-free alternatives. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is most promising. In contrast to fluorinated surfaces, PDMS-coated surfaces showed only superhydrophobicity. This raises the question whether the poor liquid repellency is caused by PDMS interacting with the probe liquid or whether it results from inappropriate surface morphology. Here, we demonstrate that a well-designed two-tier structure consisting of silicon dioxide nanoparticles combined with surface-tethered PDMS chains allows super-liquid-repellency toward a range of low surface tension liquids.
