Hydroxide and Hydrophobic Tetrabutylammonium Ions at the Hydrophobe-Water Interface.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Water and oil do not mix. This essential statement of the hydrophobic effect explains why oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions are unstable and why energy must be supplied to form such emulsions. Breaking O/W emulsions is an exothermic event. Yet metastable O/W emulsions can be prepared with only water acting as the stabilizer by the adsorption of hydroxide ions formed from the enhanced autolysis of interfacial water. The heat of desorption of the hydroxide ions from the oil-water interface is not directly accessible but is obtained from the difference between the heat of reaction and the sum of the neutralization and interfacial heats when an emulsion is broken by the addition of acid. This experimental value of 28.4 k
