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

Accurate simulation models for water interactions with graphene and graphite are important for nanofluidic applications, but existing force fields produce widely varying contact angles. Our extensive review of the experimental literature reveals extreme variation among reported values of graphene-water contact angles and a clustering of graphite-water contact angles into groups of freshly exfoliated (60° ± 13°) and not-freshly exfoliated graphite surfaces. The carbon-oxygen dispersion energy for a classical force field is optimized with respect to this 60° graphite-water contact angle in the infinite-force-cutoff limit, which in turn yields a contact angle for unsupported graphene of 80°, in agreement with the mean of the experimental results. Interaction force fields for finite cutoffs are also derived. A method for calculating contact angles from pressure tensors of planar equilibrium simulations that is ideally suited to graphite and graphene surfaces is introduced. Our methodology is widely applicable to any liquid-surface combination.
