1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

For an accurate description of nanofluidic systems, it is crucial to account for the transport properties of liquids at surfaces on subnanometer scales, where the finite range of surface-liquid interactions implies both spatially extended surface-liquid friction and modified interfacial viscosity. This is accounted for via generalized, position-dependent friction-coefficient and interfacial viscosity profiles, which enable the accurate description of interfacial flow at the nanoscale using the Stokes equation. Such profiles are extracted from nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of water on polar, nonpolar, fluorinated, and unfluorinated alkane and alcohol self-assembled monolayers spanning a wide range of wetting characteristics. The Navier friction coefficient, interfacial viscosity excess, and depletion length are found to be interrelated through power laws and to scale exponentially with the work of adhesion. Our framework establishes a foundation for describing subnanometer interfacial fluid flow with implications for electrokinetics, biophysics, and nanofluidics.
