Fibrillary Arrangement of Elongated, Almost Parallel Aggregates of Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Domains Forming the Nafion Surface Structure Improved Contrast Atomic Force Microscopy Images.
Article in ACS omega, 2023. 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
A significant improvement in spatial resolution is reported in Nafion surface maps when compared to previous atomic force microscopy images of the Nafion surface scanned in air. The technique ability is to generate maps showing approximately few nanometer (∼2-5 nm) patterns to the long fiber length (>2 μm). Atomic force microscopy force vs separation curve profiles registered in water are used to characterize the surface hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains. Initially, Nafion surfaces were imaged in air for comparison and then immersed in water. Nafion surfaces immersed in water display a matrix of hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions with fibrillary structure dimensions of ∼40 nm formed by fiber pairs. Ribbons formed by two pairs with diameters of ∼83 nm are separated by larger channels.
