Effects of Size and Porosity on the Hydrophobicity of Hierarchical Nanoparticles.
Article in Nano letters, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Hierarchical nanoporous particles combine properties of microporous and mesoporous materials that are widely exploited for energy storage and conversion, separation of gases and liquids, water purification and desalination, fabrication of nanodevices, etc. Hierarchical meso/microporous level-2 and level-3 Menger sponge particles immersed in water were investigated using computer simulation methods to demonstrate a synergetic effect of additional porosity on the wettability of materials. The Menger sponge is an object with a fractal dimension. At each level, the particles are composed of the same structural blocks. The hydrophobicity of the blocks was shown to depend on their size and position in the nanoparticles. The additional porosity decreases the hydrophobicity of the particles due to the partial breaking of hydrogen bonds between water molecules in the pores. This effect can be used to tune and modify the hydrophobicity and wettability of bulky porous materials, nanoparticles, and nanostructured surfaces.
