Release of ice-nucleating particles from leaves during rainfall.
Article in Die Naturwissenschaften, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Plant surfaces are a major source of particles able to initiate ice formation in clouds little below 0 °C. Rainfall promotes the release of such ice-nucleating particles (INPs) from vegetation. However, the pattern of their release throughout rain events remains unexplored. Here, we investigate at a high temporal resolution INP dynamics in rain impacting and running off single leaflets of Juglans regia during two rain events and relate the results to total INP inventories on the leaflets. Throughout both events, leaf runoff was distinctly enriched in INPs as compared with rainwater. A large fraction of INPs washed off during rainfall was released already at the beginning of the events. Except for the highest temperature interval, less than 40% of detachable INPs from leaf surfaces had been removed after the rain events. We hypothesise that surfactant excretion of INP-producing bacteria shapes the observed pattern of release.
