Temperature Effects on Wicking Dynamics: Experimental and Numerical Study on Micropillar-Structured Surfaces.
Article in Micromachines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Boiling heat transfer, utilizing latent heat during phase change, has widely been used due to its high thermal efficiency and plays an important role in existing and next-generation cooling technologies. The most critical parameter in boiling heat transfer is critical heat flux (CHF), which represents the maximum heat flux a heated surface can sustain during boiling. CHF is primarily influenced by the wicking performance, which governs liquid supply to the surface. This study experimentally and numerically analyzed the wicking performance of micropillar structures at various temperatures (20-95 °C) using distilled water as the working fluid to provide fundamental data for CHF prediction. Infrared (IR) visualization was used to extract the wicking coefficient, and the experimental data were compared with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for validation. At room temperature (20 °C), the wicking coefficient increased with larger pillar diameters (D) and smaller gaps (G). Specifically, the highest roughness factor sample (D04G10,
