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

Water under nanoscale confinement is central to biological function, catalysis, and soft materials, yet how geometry dictates its structure and dynamics remains unresolved. Here, we establish a direct link between interfacial curvature and confined water behavior using an archaeal-inspired phytantriol-water lipidic mesophase platform. By systematically tuning curvature across lamellar, double-gyroid cubic, and reverse micellar phases, and integrating structural, thermodynamic, and ultrafast spectroscopies, we show that geometry controls the dimensionality and mobility of the hydrogen-bond network. Planar interfaces enforce 2D networks that slow down interfacial water through spatial constrain, whereas curved bicontinuous and micellar topologies promote 3D networks with accelerated reorientation. These findings reveal a geometric principle for governing water dynamics in soft nanoconfinement, providing molecular level design rules for confined transport and reactivity in membranes and functional materials.
