High Voltages in Sliding Water Drops.
Article in The journal of physical chemistry 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
Water drops on insulating hydrophobic substrates can generate electric potentials of kilovolts upon sliding for a few centimeters. We show that the drop saturation voltage corresponds to an amplified value of the solid-liquid surface potential at the substrate. The amplification is given by the substrate geometry, the drop and substrate dielectric properties, and the Debye length within the liquid. Next to enabling an easy and low-cost way to measure surface- and zeta- potentials, the high drop voltages have implications for energy harvesting, droplet microfluidics, and electrostatic discharge protection.
