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
Urushiol is recognized as a sustainable coating material with superior properties; however, it faces significant challenges in applications such as petrochemicals and marine engineering due to surface oil contamination. This study aimed to enhance the cleanability of urushiol-based coatings through hydrophilic modification. Polyethylene glycol monooleate (PEGMO) was identified as an appropriate hydrophilic macromonomer and utilized as a modifier to develop a novel urushiol-based coating, termed P(U-PEGMO), via thermal curing. The results indicated that copolymerization occurred between urushiol and PEGMO during the curing process, forming a stable urushiol copolymer with favorable compatibility. The incorporation of PEGMO greatly improved the surface hydrophilicity of the coatings, as evidenced by a reduction in the water contact angle to below 30° when the modifier content reached 30% or higher, demonstrating a high degree of surface hydrophilicity. This enhanced property imparted the modified coating with underwater superoleophobicity and reduced oil adhesion, thereby facilitating the removal of oil. The cleaning performance was evaluated using a simple water rinsing method, after which, less than 2.5 wt% of oil residues remained on the surface of the modified coating. The high hydrophilicity is considered responsible for the coating's easy-cleaning capability. In addition, the modified coatings exhibited improved flexibility and impact resistance, albeit with a slight decrease in hardness.
