Validation of a Multiscale Hysteresis Mechanics Model in Predicting Oily Shoe-Floor Friction Across Surfaces With Varying Finishes.

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
Shoe-floor friction, quantified by the coefficient of friction (COF), is an important predictor of the risk of slip-and-fall accidents. There is a commonly used model of friction by B. Persson that describes viscoelastic dissipation due to hysteretic properties of rubber. Applied to shoe-floor friction, the model calculates the COF by using two primary inputs: (1) the multiscale surface topography of floor tiles and (2) the time-dependent material properties of the shoe rubber. While this theory is well accepted by many theoreticians and modelers, there is almost no direct experimental validation. Here, the model is tested by comparing against experimental measurements of COF using three different designs of shoes, ten different porcelain-tile floors, and canola oil as a contaminant. The results demonstrated that, while the model was predictive of trends, its values were too large by an average of 1050% when all scales of topography were included. However, this predictive power was improved (
