Measuring Molecular Forces With Atomic Force Microscopy 1: Solvent Influence on Hydrophobic Interactions.
Review in Microscopy research and technique, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Molecular forces drive phenomena such as self-assembly, aggregation, and protein folding, where hydrophobic interactions are paramount. However, the origin of the hydrophobic mechanism remains unknown. Advances in techniques like atomic force microscopy (AFM) have improved our ability to study this topic. Hydrophobic interactions are stronger and longer ranged than van der Waals (vdW) forces, potentially arising from water structuring, polarization, and entropic effects. In this primer, fluorocarbon surfaces were prepared via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on gold to explore the impact of water:DMSO solvent binary mixtures on hydrophobic interactions. Force-distance curves measured with AFM were fitted to an extended vdW model, disclosing the influence of the medium polarity on the interactions.
