Optimizing the effect of TiO
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
The incorporation of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nano powder in water-based paint formulations significantly enhances properties such as opacity, UV protection, and durability. However, the challenge lies in optimizing these improvements while managing costs and ensuring environmental and health safety. This study employs Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to systematically analyse and optimize the concentration and particle size distribution of TiO2 nano powder in water-based paints. The study is aimed to maximize opacity and durability while minimizing potential health hazards and environmental impacts. Experimental results were fitted to quadratic models, and the optimal conditions were determined by solving the regression equations and analysing the response surfaces. The optimized formulation achieved a significant improvement in opacity (24% increase) and UV resistance (30% enhancement) compared to conventional water-based paints. Furthermore, the optimized nano powder dispersion demonstrated a decrease in volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions during drying, contributing to better indoor air quality. This research not only underscores the effectiveness of RSM in fine-tuning the properties of nano-enhanced paints but also sets a precedence for the eco-friendly and safe application of nanotechnology in paint manufacturing. Future studies are recommended to scale up the production process and evaluate the long-term environmental impacts of nano TiO2-enriched water-based paints.
