Gaussian Versus Mean-Field Models: Contradictory Predictions for the Casimir Force Under Dirichlet-Neumann Boundary Conditions.
Article in Entropy (Basel, Switzerland), 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 mean-field model (MFM) is the workhorse of statistical mechanics: one normally accepts that it yields results which, despite differing numerically from correct ones, are not "very wrong", in that they resemble the actual behavior of the system as eventually obtained by more advanced treatments. This, for example, turns out to be the case for the Casimir force under, say, Dirichlet-Dirichlet, (+,+) and (+,-) boundary conditions (BC) for which, according to the general expectations, the MFM is
