1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Superhydrophobic surfaces have been studied extensively over the past 25 years. However, many industries interested in the application of hydrophobic properties are yet to find a suitable solution to their needs. This paper looks at the rapid functionalization of nanoparticles and the fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces with contact angles > 170°. This was achieved by simply mixing commercial products and applying the new formulation with scalable techniques. First, inexpensive and nontoxic superhydrophobic nanoparticles were made by functionalizing nanoparticles with fatty acids in under an hour. A similar methodology was then used to functionalize a commercial polymer coating to express superhydrophobic properties on it by lowering the coating's surface energy. The coating was then applied to a surface by the spray technique to allow for the formation of hierarchical surface structures. By combining the low surface energy with the necessary roughness, the surface was able to express superhydrophobic properties. Both the particles and the surfaces then underwent characterization and functional testing, which, among other things, allowed for clear differentiation between the functionalization properties of the zinc oxide (ZnO) and the silica (SiO
