Friction of granular systems: the role of solid-liquid interaction.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
This study investigates the fundamental frictional behavior of granules through experimental analysis under two direct-shear testing scenarios: grains-assembly shearing and grains-to-surface shearing (when the shear plane is between the grains and a flat solid surface), incorporating new experimental data with comparison to previous findings. By varying grain mineralogy, morphology, and pore liquids, we identify key differences between the two systems. The results show that grain-assembly friction is influenced by grain morphology but not by mineralogy, whereas grains-to-surface friction exhibits the opposite trend. The presence of pore liquid also has contrasting effects: it reduces friction in grain-assemblies due to lubrication but increases friction of grains-surface systems due to solid-liquid adhesion. This paper explains these trends by hypothesizing a link between each shearing scenario to distinct grain displacement mechanisms-particle sliding or rolling (rearrangement). It also shows that the friction of an 'ideal' granular system, made of uniform, rigid, and smooth spheres, sets a threshold for the effects of lubrication and adhesion.
