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

Ice accumulation on cold surfaces is a common and serious phenomenon that exists in numerous industrial fields, such as power transmission, wind turbines, and aircraft. Despite recent efforts in mitigating ice accumulation on the cold surface, it remains a challenge to achieve robust anti-icing on the cold surface in terms of nanofluid droplet. Here, we report a rigid superhydrophobic Cu surface and an elastic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) superhydrophobic surface to enhance water-repellency performance, characterized by a significant reduction in contact time and a decrease in the spreading ratio. As for the rigid superhydrophobic Cu surface, the underlying mechanism is ascribed to the existence of stable air cushions between the micropillar array, which reduce the contact area and further suppress the heat conduction. As for the elastic PDMS superhydrophobic surface, the rapid detachment of the nanofluid droplet relies on superior surface elasticity, which can further suppress the nanofluid droplet splashing at a high impacting velocity. We believe that this work can provide a new view for the improvement of water-repellency for a wide range of applications.
