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
The water wettability of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has attracted a lot of research interest in the past 15 years. Experimentally, the static water contact angle (WCA) has been widely utilized to characterize the intrinsic water wettability of hBN. In the current study, we have investigated the effect of airborne hydrocarbons and defects on both static and dynamic WCAs of hBN. Our results showed that the static WCA is impacted by defects, which suggests that previously reported static WCAs do not characterize the intrinsic water wettability of hBN since the state-of-the-art hBN samples always have relatively high defect density. Instead, we found that the advancing WCA of freshly exfoliated hBN is not affected by the defects and airborne hydrocarbons. As a result, the advancing WCA on freshly exfoliated hBN, determined to be 79 ± 3°, best represents the intrinsic water wettability of hBN. A qualitative model has been proposed to describe the effect of airborne hydrocarbons and defects on the static and dynamic WCA of hBN, which is well supported by the experimental results. The finding here has important implications for the water wettability of 2D materials.
