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
Controlling surface morphology is one of the main strategies used to tune surface hydrophobic and icephobic properties. Taking advantage of coating growth by initiated chemical vapor deposition, random and ordered wrinkles were induced on a thin film of polyperfluorodecyl acrylate (pPFDA) deposited on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to simultaneously modify surface chemistry and morphology. A range of wrinkles of different wavelengths were studied, and how the wrinkle characteristics change with varying coating thickness. Ordered wrinkles enhanced hydrophobicity more when compared to random wrinkles, with a noticeable effect for coating thickness on the order of hundreds of nanometers. An insight into the mechanism of surface wrinkling and its effect on freezing delay is also provided, and promising results were found on ordered wrinkles, where a freezing delay was observed.
