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

Superhydrophobicity is closely linked to the chemical composition and geometric characteristics of surface roughness. Building on our structural studies on water and air-water interfaces, this work aims to elucidate the mechanism underlying the wetting transition from the Wenzel to the Cassie state on a hydrophobic surface. In the Wenzel state, the grooves are filled with water, meaning that the surface roughness becomes embedded in the liquid. To evaluate the effects of surface roughness on water structure, a wetting parameter (
