Preserving exposed hydrophilic bumps on multi-bioinspired slippery surface arrays unlocks high-efficiency fog collection and photocatalytic cleaning.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 efficiency of fog collection technologies is inherently hindered by the long-standing dilemma of capture vs. transportation balance. Inspired by nature, we address this issue by preserving hydrophilic bumps on slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) through an underwater infusion strategy, creating a super-slippery fog collector with multi-scale biomimetic structures. This surface combines features from beetle carapaces and pitcher plant surfaces, enabling rapid initial water capture on hydrophilic bumps and efficient droplet transport. As a result, we develop the most efficient fog-collecting surface reported to date, harvesting 5000-60000 mg/cm² per hour with fog flow rates ranging from 300-1500 mL/h. By macroscopically scaling and optimizing, we construct an integrated 3D fog collecting device capable of harvesting over 660 g of water in 500 minutes. Further integrating TiO
