Water confinement in carbon nanocones: molecular dynamics study.
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 confinement of water molecules within nanostructures is a subject of intense research. Unlike carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon nanocones (CNCs) possess a conically expanding cross section, providing significantly different confinement environments within the CNT. In this study, we employed classical molecular dynamics simulations to investigate how the structural and dynamic properties change along the CNC axis, from the base to the tip, and from the water-carbon interface to the interior of CNCs, under varying tip angles. The simulations reveal a high sensitivity of the nanoconfined water structure to the tip angle. Notably, local confinement within CNCs influences water structure up to 15 Å away. The water density exhibits strong modulation in a layered fashion near the CNC interface, depending on the tip angle, indicating complex geometric dependencies. These findings offer new insights into water-CNC interactions and nanoscale confinement, with implications for understanding the unique behavior of water and its potential applications in nanostructured systems.
