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 design and facile fabrication of a hierarchical superhydrophobic surface with robust stability is the key for industrialization of superhydrophobic materials. Herein, a robust hierarchical superhydrophobic Zn coating (EAE-Zn) with armor-like structure was fabricated by two-step electrodeposition accompanied with an indispensable intermediate activation. The results showed that the activation treatment was favorable for the formation and growth of nano-flakes on the side surfaces of vertically aligned micro-flakes. Notably, the armor-like EAE-Zn coating still sustained its water repellency even after suffering from sandpaper abrasion, tape peeling, water drop impact and long-term immersion in salt solution, indicating that the vertically aligned micro-plates acting as "armor" could prevent effectively the abrasion of the fragile nano-structures. Besides, the superior non-wettability and impermeability endowed the EAE-Zn coating with long-term corrosion resistance ability. Therefore, these findings offer a novel strategy to design a hierarchical superhydrophobic surface with robust stability and superior corrosion resistance.
