Comments on "Part I: determination of a structure/property transformation mechanism responsible for changes in the point of zero change of anatase titania with decreasing particle size" by M. Leffler, A. Mirich, J. Fee, S. March and S. L. Suib,
Article in RSC advances, 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
The work mentioned in the title of this comment appears to establish a relationship between the point of zero charge of oxide minerals (anatase, goethite, and others) and particle size. While the methods to establish the point of zero charge used in the experimental work of the paper are non-standard and need to be critically assessed, the apparent increase of the point of zero charge with particle size is clearly not a general feature and some literature data observed by standard methods for measuring points of zero charge actually suggest the absence of a universal trend. Since part II of article series (
