How volatile components stabilize bulk nanobubbles: a model study.
Article in Frontiers in chemistry, 2026. 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
Introduction: Although bulk nanobubbles have been widely studied, the contribution of volatile components to their stability remains largely unexplored. Methods: This work investigates the stabilizing effect of volatile components (e.g., CO2, short-chain hydrocarbons) on nanobubbles in liquid bulk. A thermodynamic model is established to account for the dynamic equilibrium between non-condensable gas (exemplified by oxygen) and volatile species inside the bubble. The model was developed and validated using molecular dynamics simulations. Results: The findings demonstrate that volatile components introduce a negative-feedback mechanism that balances gas exchange across the bubble interface, thereby enabling long-term stability. By contrast, systems containing only non-condensable gases fail to sustain stable nanobubbles. Discussion: This study reveals that the synergistic interaction between volatile and non-condensable gases is a key mechanism for stabilizing bulk nanobubbles.
